I have a crack theory so far fetched— Just like hear me out. Hear me out now and don’t take it too seriously this is for shits and giggles.
But what if Carmilla was Eve?
Like just silhouette wise look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They got the same hair
Also just for the sake of this scenario, I’m also gonna need y’all to just run with the “Zestial is Able” theory. Cuz that would explain why the two have such a close relationship and why during Whatever it Takes she looks over when she says “I’ll keep you safe”.
Tumblr media
Like yea she’s referring to her daughters (who could just be sinners she took in since we know sinners can’t reproduce in Hell). So she’s got her two adopted daughters and her son able to protect from the angels.
Tumblr media
Also it would explain this screenshot from the pilot with the two of them hiding out during the extermination.
There’s also the shadow in the background sitting with a shape similar to Lucifer with the top hat and cane and red eyes too. Since Lucifer banged Eve, maybe he’s paying her a visit afterwards? Making sure she’s safe from extermination? Idk. Something like that.
Anyway, that’s it. Thanks. Bye.

i mentioned a while ago making a rotai au but i haven’t read rotai in like forever and the idea is still half baked so i’m just gonna throw out everything i have so far and either come up with more ideas bit by bit or take suggestions if u guys have any !! sorry for inactivity in the mc/mcd community btw social anxiety’s been beating my ass lmao
SO. au time. everything in the very beginning of the book is the same, but when archie gets to the top of that weird mountain and finds the orb he’s like “oh those are terrible vibes no thanks” and just Leaves (once the spiders are gone ofc). yes i did just make up this whole au bc i thought it would be funny how can u tell. anyways, no longer having a tribe, he just kinda runs off into the woods and does his own thing. we love a foraging king. also strong independent archie supremacy (i’ve always headcanoned him as an adult and a pretty competent one at that, just wanna play around w/ the idea of him being left alone for once). does he have funky animal friends? what weapons does he use? has he figured out agriculture? who knows! certainly not i
someone else gets the orb. is it thord, is a walda, is it goddamn karl, i have no idea. either way bad things happen and must be stopped but archie doesn’t really care he’s just chilling
at some point this random hero comes across him and, being the weirdo she is, is like “oh look. a lone illager. youre my friend now :)”. if anyone remembers me posting violet in the discord server this is her BUT i wanna change her name bc there’s already a lot of cool canon and fanon characters w/ v names and i don’t wanna like. copy anyone lmao. anyways she’s like “surely u have to be lonely out here :(“ and he’s like “no actually i’m pretty alright” and she’s like “nah. we’re leaving :)” and that’s that. he does go back to his weird little treehouse or whatever eventually i just like the idea of him getting dragged around against his will to help fight against evil or whatever LMAO. definitely the most helpful of the protags here in terms of combat skills (again. competent archie supremacy. they never said he was bad at fighting he just didn’t like it), but the whole time he’s just like “yes i am going to teach you how to use a sword and yes i am going to hate every second of it. die” (they are besties)
third protag is yumi bc i like her. hero drags archie to the closest village she can find, archie nearly gets sent into the stratosphere by an iron golem, and yumi comes out like “sorry broski my bad lol”. somehow she ends up agreeing to help them idk why i haven’t thought abt it that much (she is insanely difficult for me to write i still do not even have a consistent design for her). “isn’t violence against, like, villager code or whatever?” “well, technically, I’M not the one doing the violence-” *gestures vaguely to army of iron golems*
anyways that’s pretty much it. world’s bravest villager, illager who Does Not Want To Be Here, and a hero who has no clue what she’s doing, bless her soul
if anyone has suggestions lemme know lol. also i wanna make it more fantasy-ish bc i love fantasy so dw abt sticking to canon worldbuilding. this is all for funsies i have zero prior storytelling experience lmao

DC Titans WIPs (November 2023)
Okay, so - I am the type of person who actually benefits from people ‘bugging’ me when it comes to my WIPs. I know a lot of authors say that they don’t like being bugged or hounded down for their work, but I am the opposite. So I have made this list of my Titans WIPs so you guys can 'bug' me into finishing some of them.
The only time this doesn’t work for me is when you’re bugging me/asking me about work from a fandom that I’m not currently working on. (aka asking me about Lessons For A Genius when I’m not currently working on Criminal Minds stuff) - but if it’s a WIP from a fandom that I am currently working on and someone is really enthusiastic about it, asking for updates, ‘bugging’ me about it, then I know that they are anticipating that work and that they look forward to me posting it, so it makes me more eager and excited to work on it, and I will actively prioritize that work over other stuff. 
So, I have made this list of my Titans WIPs. Most of these are from months ago or even years ago, and this isn’t even all my WIPs from this fandom - I have just included the works that I am most excited about and most likely to finish. Realistically, do I think every single item on this list is going to get done within the next few months? No. But I hope that I can get four or five items on this list done soon, on top of editing reposts and possibly starting new ideas. 
This is a really long list and realistically not everything is going to get done, but if you see something on this list that you think sounds cool, send me a message and bug me about it and it will definitely move up the list in terms of priority. I know a lot of these are untitled, so if you want to come into my inbox and talk about one, just send me the number of it or talk about the general concept, etc.
Completed Fics That Need To Be Edited:
(I am actually surprised by how many of these there are. Last time I was working on Titans stuff and lost steam, I left quite a few blurbs unedited, so look forward to these coming your way.) 
First Kiss With Gar Logan - Gar Logan x Reader, Fluff, set during S2, 2k words est. - This one is described all in the title; mutual pining, mostly fluff; a short fic describing what your first kiss with Gar would be like. I know the reason I didn’t post this one! This one was intended to be part of a series called the ‘First Kiss’ series where I showed a situation of the reader (in each case, it’s a different reader character) having their first kiss with each of the Titans characters; very random and funsies, and I am probably going to continue this as a series like intended if people like this one EDIT - NOW POSTED
EDIT: now titled Miss Nectarine - Untitled Donna Smut Blurb - Donna Troy x Fem!Thick!Reader (Plus Sized Reader), Smut/PWP, set during S2 (Titans ‘return home’ era), 2k words est. - This one involves the ‘caught masturbating’ trope (one of my ult favs); Donna walks in and sees you touching yourself, and with your gorgeous curvy body revealed to her, she can’t hold back anymore. The reason I didn’t post this one is because I thought it was crappy and I was too tired to edit the issues out of it, and now that I have come back to it, I am excited about the concept and the bones of it and I am lot more excited and energetic to edit the issues out of (I feel like this could be 4k or 5k with editing because I really love the ideas behind it). I have definitely not written enough Donna smut and there needs to be more in my catalog. NOW POSTED
Great Dick, Sweet Personality - Gar Logan x Male Reader, Smut/PWP, set during S2, 3k est. - This one involves the ‘accidentally sent you my nude’ trope; you are trying on lingerie in your room for your own enjoyment and snapping pictures of yourself cause it feels good, and then you accidentally send one of them to Gar; you freak out and demand that he delete the picture, and you find out that he likes them, rather than mocking you for wearing the girly underwear, and then smutty smut (Gar is a bi king, I love writing him with a male reader) 
Main WIPs
A lot of these have a good chunk of the fic written and need to be finished, and some of them are just an outline of what the fic would be. I have put them in the order of what I am most excited about, and like I said - if you guys get really excited about something, it will be moved up the list. (Though I don’t think this list will actually be edited to reflect that, it will just be moved up the list in my mind, or put on the ‘coming soon’ section of my pinned post to reflect that I am prioritizing it.) 
Snowed In - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader x Jason Todd, Smut/Emotional Angst/Ending Fluff, set during S2 (AU version of the S2 ending), 1k words so far, 15% done so far, 10k est when finished - This is a Christmas themed fic; it will include a different ending for S2, so all the Titans are living at Titans Tower and operating out of San Francisco; however, everyone is going to different places for the holidays, and Jason, the reader, and Gar, are all dreading ‘going home’ for Christmas, so they are putting off leaving for as long as possible, and this gets them stuck in the Tower during a massive snowstorm; when the Tower’s generators run out of power, they are forced to snuggle together for warmth, and thing leads to another - threesome smut, confessions of feelings, and also, them chatting and explaining they didn’t want to leave leads to a lot of emotional catharsis; I rarely do holiday themed fics because I can never get them posted ‘on time’ but maybe I can actually do a Christmas fic this year?? 
Detective Grayson and The White Rabbit - Dick Grayson x Fem!Villain!Reader, Smut (with the barest amount of plot), technically doesn’t take place in the Titans!verse (but definitely inspired by Brenton Thwaites version of Dick), 3k words so far, 40% ish done so far, 7k est when finished - you are a famous masked villain in Gotham (a thief known as the White Rabbit) and you have an attraction to Nightwing, particularly because of his very famous ass, and one night, when you are arrested by Dick Grayson (disappointed that Nightwing didn’t show up to the ‘party’ that you set up just for him), you recognize that ass waltzing away from you, and you call out Detective Grayson; and in order to keep his secret identity a secret, you ask for one thing in return (to get fucked by the birdie vigilante that you have desired for so long). This is actually a kind of cracky idea that came up from a conversation between me and Star, and I loved it so much that I ran with it. Long live Nightwing’s royal ass 
A Knife Called Lust (The Sex Pollen Fic) - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader x Jason Todd, Angst and Smut, set during Season 3, 12k words so far, 30% done so far, it’ll probably be over 40k when it’s done (and it was originally intended to be a oneshot, but I think it would work better as a 3-shot); this one actually won a poll on my old blog, and then I girl-failed to actually get it done lmao; you are Jason’s childhood friend, and when he dies, you fall into Gar’s arms, and then the two of you find out Jason is alive (and Jason harshly rejects any attempts you make to get him to come home); and when Gar is hit by a mysterious chemical made by Crane, you go to Jason for help (it was sex pollen and a threesome ensues) 
Untitled Gar Smut (The Face Sitting Fic) - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader, Smut (the barest amount of plot), set during S2, 3k words so far, 50% done, 6k or 7k est when finished - This is based on a request I received on my old blog; Gar and the reader are sparring, and the reader wraps her legs around Gar to take him down, and this ends with her accidentally ‘sitting’ on his head; he loves the feeling, and asks her to do it again - this time, without pants on (very simple and smutty, cheers) 
Untitled Donna Fic (The Rage Chemical Fic) - Donna Troy x Fem!Kryptonian!Reader, Angst, set during the flashback era of S2, mostly just an outline atm - this is based off a request from my old blog; you are dosed with a chemical that Cadmus is working on (in the hopes of using it on Superman) and you end up in a blind rage; Donna, your lover, is the only one strong enough to fight you and inject you with the antidote (there is some angst where you try to kill Donna and she uses her calm, loving words to temporarily stop the rage) (this is structured like an episode of Titans, set during the OG Titans era)
Untitled JayGar fic (The Mockingbird Fic) - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader x Jason Todd, Hurt and Comfort, slight AU of Season 3, mostly just an outline - this is mostly inspired by the tiktok edit(s) of Jason and Gar, comparing their two styles of love, with the song lyrics ‘Daddy’s gonna but you a mockingbird, I’ll give you the world’ for Gar and ‘I’ll break that birdie’s neck’ for Jason; while the Titans are working in Gotham, several bomb threats are received; you, Jason, and Gar are at one location checking out one of these threats and someone sneaks up on you and sexually assaults you; Jason beats the man to death while Gar holds you and shields your eyes (showing how they care for you both differently but in ways that protect you) 
Untitled Donna Fic (The Death Fic) - Donna Troy x Fem!Reader, Angst and Smut, slight AU of Season 2, mostly just an outline - you and Donna are dating and in love and she gets shot by Deathstroke and dies (a much cooler death than dying from a carnival ride); she gives you her lasso as a last sign of her love, and when she somehow miraculously comes back to life, she comes back to you to get it (and to fuck you brainless to prove that she’s real when you think that she’s just a hallucination). I came up with this idea before I saw Season 3, and it was inspired by gifs of the scenes of Donna being in the forest after she had come back to life
Dick Confronts Your Abuser (not yet titled) - Dick Grayson x Fem!Reader, Hurt and Comfort, set during Season 3, 2k so far, 10k est when finished - this is similar to the fics I have already written for Abby and Ellie (and I would definitely be willing to write this prompt for other Titans characters, because it’s very close to my heart); what it says on the tin; you are in an unhappy, abusive relationship and when Dick finds out, he beats the shit out of the guy (Dick is also your ex and pining to get you back)
Untitled Enemies to Lovers Fic - Dick Grayson x Fem!Powered!Reader, Smut, set during Season 2, mostly just an outline - you are the daughter of Barry Allen/The Flash, and you have the power to slow down or speed up time around you; you have been an annoyance in Dick’s life since childhood, often using your powers to mock him and pull pranks on him; after the incident where he accidentally lets Doctor Light go, you continue mocking him, and the annoyance flares its head into attraction, and the two of you end up fucking on the mats in the training room (and you end up using your powers for good for once - making his orgasm longer and more satisfying than he ever could have thought) (I really love this idea and idk why lmao) 
Sequel Ideas:
(A lot of my fics could have sequels, and a lot of people have asked for certain fics to have sequels, but these are the fics I have thought about continuing the most and fics that I am the most excited about giving a sequel to.) 
Emergency Contact (sequel would be called The Jaws of Life) - Jason Todd x GN!Reader, Angst and Smut, set during season 3; this would be a reunion between Jason and the reader after Jason dies and comes back to life (reunion sex) 
Free Use Day (sequel would be called Shibari Whore) - Poly!OG Titans x Fem!Reader, smut, set during the flashback era; this would be a fic about Dick discovering his desire to be submissive; Dick becomes a rope bunny, and during their next play session, Dick is submissive and ‘used’ alongside the reader 
Missing You - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader x Jason Todd, Smut, set outside of the canon; I am thinking about a sequel and maybe even a third part to this, where Jason and the reader have phone sex with Gar now that they know he’s listening (and a part where they have sex with him in person) 
Now You See Me - Gar Logan x Male Reader, Angst, set during Season 3; I actually really love this fic so much and I’d love to write a sequel for it; with the Titans living in Gotham, a place that was once your home, when Hank gets into trouble with the bomb in his chest, you dive into your dark past in order to help him, and call in someone unexpected, but capable to help save Hank’s life - your father, Viktor Freeze

Vampires should be able to sleep, that way Bella could still have her prophetic dreams!!
YES! I agree vampires should be able to sleep! I think Bella having prophetic dreams as a vampire would be so cool, because it would be the only time she could truly be taken by surprise. As a vampire you have super senses and know basically anything coming at you from seven miles away. But, in her dreams she might still get the human experience of being surprised.
Rate: 10/10
Some other reasons I think vampires should be allowed to sleep:
- get a break from reality (living for a century with no break from your thoughts sounds terrifying)
- sleep in coffins ???!!!
- sleep upside down like bats just for funsies
- imagine Edward holding Bella in her room and slowly falling asleep only to wake up as Charlie is opening her bedroom door… THE ANGST
- imagine Bella entering the Cullens home for the first time and Edwards room just as an upright coffin in it. “You don’t sleep,” Bella asks the vampire, taking into account the obvious lack of any soft surface, save for the elegant couch pressed against the wall. “I do,” Edward says sheepishly, a hand running over the back of his neck. He nods his head towards the upright- “Is that a coffin?” She asks incredulously. If vampires could blush, Edward would be an indecent shade of red. “We like to play into the funnier stereotypes, it’s an inside joke.”
- Esme coming back from a long day and curling up on the couch, head on Carlisle’s shoulder, just for a light nap before she has to get back to her tasks.
Throw your weirdest/strangest/most uncommon twilight thoughts into my asks and I’ll rate them with commentary!!
I’m in love with the idea of vampires sleeping <333

Here’s your GIF for the writing challenge!
Tumblr media
Prompt: “I thought I’d find you out here.”
Good luck and thanks for participating!💛
Thanks for responding @crossbowking !!
I’ll do my best :D
Setting: right after The bridge is exploded by Rick
Pairing: Daryl x Grimes! reader because... fun lol idk he’s supposed to be helping Ricks kid by stepping up as a sort of parental guardian figure cause I’m a sucker for it. I just love family bonding haha. Also adding in when Henry and Carol visit Daryl for funsies
Summary: reader notices Daryl trying to close himself off and ends up following him into the woods before he takes off on his own.
Type: angst but also fluff
—————————
Your dad was gone.
Just like that.
He was gone, Carl was gone, and so was the bridge that he thought would bring the Alexandrians and Saviors together.
That day was the first time you’d seen your dads best friend cry. Unfortunately, Daryl was gone before you could even talk to him. He’d walked into the woods. Alone.
You thought you’d give him some time. Everyone needed to grieve after all, and you knew Daryl did that best by himself. That’s what he did when Merle died.
But you weren’t that kind of person. You needed to be with people. You needed to feel less alone or else you’d crumble. Michonne was nowhere to be found. She’d been a good mother figure, but right now you had no idea which direction she even went in.
So you went out into the woods after Daryl when he didn’t come back two days later.
If Michonne were there she’d have stopped you and said you were too young to go out alone.
But your dad was dead and his brother was missing. So you went ahead anyway.
You walked quietly along the crunchy forest floor to where your dad had that work site set up. Maybe he’d be there. Wasn’t that where he last saw your father before things went south?
You were answered when you saw the light of a small fire illuminating the small bit of forest.
There sat the man himself, smoking a cigarette.
He scared you when you first met him. He’d been sitting at the fire with his brother much like how he was doing it now. Being only seven at the time, you thought he would be terrifying.
But he was the one who brought you home to your dad when you and Sophia got lost in the woods. He was there when you and Beth had lost the prison. He always made sure you returned safely to your family, taking on the role of almost an uncle.
He’d seemed so strong then.
Now he just looked... broken.
Lost.
“I knew I’d find you here.” You said quietly, catching his attention.
He drifted his gaze back to the fire quietly. “Ya ‘sposed ta be our here alone?”
You shrugged and sat down next to him. “Beats being alone back home. I can’t find Michonne, and Rosita’s taking care of Judith.”
You had no idea what else you should say. Should you just bring up your dad right away? Ease into the tough conversation? Ignore it completely?
Daryl said nothing.
“I guess Judith and I are the last of the Grimes family.” You pulled your knees to your chest, waiting to see if the man would respond.
Nothing.
“What do we do now?” You tried again. Maybe he’d react to a question.
Absolutely nothing again.
You turned to watch him, noticing the tears he was trying to hide by swiping them away quickly.
“It’s okay to miss him.” You told him softly. “He was your brother. You don’t need to hide your sadness.”
He glanced at you but still stayed quiet.
“Are you gonna close yourself off again?” You couldn’t help but blurt it out. “Because we can’t lose anymore family, okay? You have to be here with us or I don’t know how we’re gonna survive.”
He nodded softly. “I know.” He said, voice coming out raspy.
“Then why won’t you say anything? Or look at me?” Tears rolled down your face.
Finally, he managed to tear his eyes away from the fire. “Cause ya look so damn much like your father. Every time I see ya I see him blowin’ up that damn bridge.” He looked up at the sky, trying to blink away his tears.
“So you’re just gonna pretend I’m not even here?” You crossed your arms. “Everyone in Alexandria needs you. Judith needs you! Michonne needs you! I need you! I lost almost all of my family already! Don’t make me lose you as well!” Tears fell faster and faster down your face.
He pulled you into a hug quickly. “m’sorry, kid.”
You wrapped your arms around him as well. “Please don’t leave us! I don’t think I can take losing any more people!”
“Shit, kid, I ain’t even made sure yer alright. Even after yer old man...” he tightened his grip. “And yer brother... and mom...”
“We’re a broken family. I know. Just... don’t break it anymore than it already is?” You pleaded.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back, kid.”
“Then let me come with you!” You released him. “I know you’re trying to find my dad and see if he’s not actually dead! Or at least to find his body!”
“I can’t-.”
“Please. I need this just as much as you do.”
“Michonne would kill me.”
“Michonne left me alone in Alexandria. I think this would be fine by her.”
He glanced back at the fire, stuck in thought. “Fine.” He leaned back and draped his arm over your small shoulders, bringing you in for a side hug. “As long as ya do as I say, and listen ta me... you can come help me look for ya old man.”
You gave him a small grin. “Okay, deal.”
——-
One day turned into a week.
One week turned into a month.
One month turned into a year.
One year turned into five.
In that time neither of you found your dads body. You travelled all over, occasionally returning to keep in touch with the rest of your family.
You found a dog while you’d been out, and Daryl had taken to just calling it ‘dog’. You tried giving it a proper name but the older man even caught YOU calling it ‘dog’.
Michonne had been fine when you returned to gather more supplies. She thought it’d be good that Daryl would take care of someone else. After all, making sure you ate well and were safe meant that he had to eat well and stay safe.
Your little sister got bigger and bigger every day. Every time you saw her she knew more and more words.
You and Daryl has both fallen into a rhythm.
Wake up.
Eat.
Look for Rick.
Set new camp.
Hunt.
Visit Alexandria when given the chance.
Soon enough someone came along and messed up that rhythm.
Carol and some blonde boy.
A cute blonde boy.
Although, from what you could tell, he was a bit of an idiot.
“Would you mind if we stayed here before heading out to Woodbury again?” Carol asked, hand on the boys shoulder.
“‘Course.” Daryl nodded, wrapping the woman up in a hug. “Ain’t ever gonna tell you ya can’t stay.”
You watched the younger boys face carefully. He seemed... confused. Did Carol not tell him who Daryl was? Or who you were?
You walked over to Carol and pushed Daryl out of the way. “Stop hogging Carol! It’s my turn.” The man scoffed as you pulled the grey haired woman into your arms. “It’s good to see you again.”
She chuckled. “It’s good to see you again as well!” She pulled away and examined you. “You’ve gotten so big!”
“And your hairs gotten so long!” You laughed, holding it in your fingers. “I like it. It’s better than when you had buzzed hair.”
“Mom, you had buzzed hair?” The blond boy asked, eyes wide.
Your eyes went wide to. “‘Mom’? Did he just call you ‘mom’?”
She nodded. “This is Henry.” She waved him closer. “He’s going to Woodbury to train in becoming a blacksmith!”
Your heart panged a bit, almost feeling as if Carol had forgotten Sophia. “That’s... that’s great for you.” You nodded and tried to convince yourself it WAS great for her. “I’m glad.”
Needless to say, that night was incredibly awkward.
Carol was cutting Daryl’s hair so you were stuck with the new kid.
Did he even have any experience living outside the walls of the Kingdom?
Did he even know who Sophia was?
Who was he to come Into their camp and disrupt their new normal?
“So... how long you been staying in this camp?” He asked nervously.
You shrugged and tried not to look at him. “A while.” Maybe he’d go away if you didn’t talk to him.
“Very cool.” He nodded, hands fidgeting. “So why is it you and your dad aren’t staying in Alexandria? Or the Kingdom?”
Your heart felt as if it stopped. “My dad is DEAD, Henry.” You practically growled. “The reason I’m out here is to find his body.”
He held up his hands as if he were surrendering. “No need to bite my head off! How was I supposed to know you lost someone? I’m not a mind reader and you’re acting like a psychopath.”
Something inside you snapped. “I didn’t just lose SomeONE. I watched my mother die giving birth to my little sister! I watched my best friend walk out into the world as a walker after we spent DAYS looking for her! I lost my brother and had to watch him die after he was BITTEN!” By now you were standing, spitting at him your full fury. “I watched my dad get BLOWN TO PIECES when he exploded a bridge trying to keep walkers from attack out settlement! Everyone’s lost something! The only reason you didn’t know is cause you’ve spent your whole life sheltered in the kingdom playing the false role of a PRINCE!”
With that you stood up and walked off.
You knew you shouldn’t have snapped like that. You should have given him a chance. Maybe he was nice.
But he brought up her dad and called her crazy. He was so incredibly sheltered that he just expected to walk out into the world and NOT find it shattered!
You hadn’t ’t thought about your dad in a while.
Not really, anyway.
Sure, you looked for your dad every day, but you never really pictured him in your head while you did it.
Eventually, after a while of walking, you plopped down against a tree.
You stayed there as long as you dared.
Daryl has traps out in the woods that would catch walkers. You’d be fine.
After about fifteen minutes your racing thoughts were interrupted by the barking of a dog.
The brown haired animal walked up to you, tail wagging and tongue hanging from his mouth.
“Hey, dog.” You scratched behind his ear and buried your face in his fur.
Right now, you just needed some source of comfort.
“I knew I’d find ya here.” Daryl’s voice startled you. “Dog lead me right to ya.”
You didn’t even bother looking away from Dog. “Yeah, he’s a snitch.”
Daryl plopped down beside you in the grass. “Gonna tell me why ya yelled at Henry?”
You shook your head. “I don’t feel like it.”
“Well yer gonna tell me anyway.”
“He’s just... so incredibly sheltered! He was acting like nobody in this world has lost anybody! And when I got mad he called my a psychopath!” You held Dog closer. “I didn’t mean to snap at him. I couldn’t help it.”
Dog licked your cheek quietly.
“Kid, is this really about yer dad?” He placed a hand on your shoulder softly.
You nodded, still unable to break away from the furry animal cuddled against you.
“I know ya miss him an’ the rest ‘a yer family like hell.” He consoled. “I miss ‘em to. But ya can’t just snap at people like that. Ya still got family left.”
“That’s what you thought when you tried to leave me alone.” You grumbled.
“I thought I said no more snappin’ at people.”
“What are you, my dad?”
“Might as well be.” He stated. “Like it or not, yer my family now.” He squeezes your shoulder gently. “So ya gonna get yer face outta Dogs fur or ya just gonna stay there forever?”
You sniffed and reluctantly released Dog. “Ideally, is like to stay there forever.”
He chuckled dryly. “Ya can’t though. Ya got a life to live.”
“I know.”
“Come on then,” he stood up and helped you to your feet. “Let’s go get dinner then.”
You nodded and let him pull you into a hug. “Okay.”
You just wanted to stay like that forever.
But Daryl was right.
You had a life to live.

Requests are open! Just send me an ask :)

Credit for O’Knutzy goes to @lumosinlove

Thank you again, love @spookypotato

Same CW’s as before! Enjoy the little “date” ;)
Chapter Three Part Two
The not overthinking didn’t quite work out. He has been standing in front of his wardrobe for the last 10 minutes, thinking about what to wear. He thought about calling June, but that would be too embarrassing and his feet would fall off any minute so he just pulled out his favourite black mom-jeans, a white T-Shirt and threw it on. His hair looked good enough to go out, so he grabbed the gray jeans jacket and his white converse, as well as his keys, wallet and phone before he jogged down the stairs to get into his car.
Sid’s was a 15-minute drive away from his apartment and it looked like the typical Italian restaurant. It was warm inside and soft Italian songs could be heard over the chatter and laughter.
Leo and Logan were already waiting for Finn, sitting at their usual table in the back.  
“Harzy, over here!”
Finn turned at Logan’s voice when he stepped into the restaurant and he could see them waving him over.
“Harzy?”, he said when he was close enough to be heard and slid onto the bench next to Leo.
“We are professional hockey players, don’t expect us to not come up with 100 nicknames”, Leo said, bumping his shoulder playfully.
“You are what now?”
“Oh right, we didn’t tell you. Sometimes I forget there are people that don’t watch ice hockey. Yeah, we play for the Gryffindor Lions. I am a goalie and Logan’s a right wing.”
Finn looked very confused and Logan smiled.
“You have no idea what we are talking about do you?”
Finn shook his head.
“Come to a game with us. Then you will see”, Logan said with a genuine tone in his voice.
“Maybe.”
They ordered their food and drinks- or well, Logan and Leo ordered the food and drinks, both of them insisting to pick for him.
“How come you ended up in Gryff? Your accent sounds different.”
“You have time? It’s going to be a long story.”
Both boys looked at him expectingly. Finn didn’t know why he offered to tell them; he normally didn’t like to talk about it, but something about those two made him trust them.
“Well, I was born and raised in New York, lived there my whole life and it’s where I started dancing. I went to the All Star Studios as a child and eventually started studying Classical Ballet and Dance Performance as well as standard dances and I made my degree.”
“But- ugh, it’s still difficult to talk about it, but I was working too hard. I was at the top of my career and I pushed myself, didn’t listen to my body and as it was bound to happen, I injured myself. Badly. So badly that I needed to give up my career and well, I couldn’t stand to stay in New York, sooo I moved here. Sorry, that was probably not interesting for you.”
Finn’s eyes where everywhere but their faces, he felt a bit ashamed.
“Don’t be silly, we asked. I’m sorry about your injury”, Leo said with such a soft voice it made Finn want to cry.
He was about to respond, but was interrupted by the waiter.
“Alright boys, pizza tonno for all of you.”
Finn waited patiently for it to cool down, driving Leo and Logan mad. He eventually picked up a slice and instantly moaned when he took a bite, causing Logan to choke on his drink.
“Oh my god, this is delicious.”
When he opened his eyes again, both boys looked incredibly smug.
“Told you.”
They ate in silence for a while, enjoying the food. By the time Leo spoke again, the pizza was almost finished.
“You know Lo, we are actually getting better at dancing. I’m looking forward to the wedding.”
“Me too, it’s going to be amazing.”
Logan took Leo’s hand, starring at him lovingly. Finn felt his heart sinking. Wedding.
“Oh, I- congratulations”, Finn pressed out with a tight smile.
Leo’s head snapped towards him.
“What? Oh no, our friends are getting married! Two of the team, you’ll love them.”
And suddenly, Finn felt like he could breathe again. He shouldn’t care, but he did and it was not good.
“Okay who is up for some cocktails?”, Logan said, clapping his hands once.
“Let’s pick one for each other!”
“Oh no”, Finn shook his head rapidly.
“Yes, absolutely.”
Before Finn could protest, Logan waved the waitress over to them.
“I pick one for Finn, Finn you pick for Leo and Leo you can pick for me but make a good choice.”
It was almost adorable what a scene they made out of this. All of them pointed secretly at the drinks, smirking. The waitress gave them a small nod and moved behind the bar.
“Let’s play 20 questions while we wait”, Logan said, looking Finn in the eyes, waggling like a puppy, “We will ask you 10 and you can ask us 10, okay?”
How could Finn say no to that?
“Fine. But I���ll start. How long are you playing for the NHL?”
“I’m only one year in but Lo has been playing for two.”
“So, you two met through hockey?”
“Yes.” Leo grinned, pressing a kiss to Logan’s knuckles.
“Oh, I never asked. How old are you?”
“I’m 24 and Leo is 19, the little baby.”
“Wait. How can you be 19 but be like, twice of Logan’s height?”
If looks could kill, Finn would be dead now, but Leo laughed loudly, throwing his head back, tears making their way over his face.
“Finn, you are on thin ice right now”, he managed to say between his laughter.
It made Finn laugh too and he blew Logan a kiss, who only scoffed in response.
“It’s cute.”
Finn regretted saying it, the warmth creeping up his neck, but Logan just smiled at him.
“Ehm alright, I have three questions in one next. What is your go to work out song, why and what do you normally do while listening to it?”
“I normally just press shuffle on my playlist because I am horrible at making decisions” Leo grinned, answering fast.
Logan thought for a while before giving his answer.
“I would say Guns and Ships from Hamilton because it’s hella motivating. I warm up to it.”
Finn gasped, his eyes starting to shine.
“You like Broadway?”, he practically screamed, getting really excited.
Leo groaned next to him.
“No. Not you too!”
Both heads snapped towards him, looking rather offended by what the blonde had said.
“But it’s so good!” they said in unisono.
Then looked back at each other and high fived over the table.
“Alright, next questions. Do you have siblings and how many do you have?”
Leo was the first to answer again.
“I am an only child but not spoiled! Looking at you Lo.”
“Yeah, yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. I have three sisters; I love them all.”
Finn nodded, “Okay a difficult one. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?”
“Italy", both said at the same time.
“It’s a bit of a dream of ours.”
“Well, not so difficult as it seems. Last one! Favourite movie?”
“Tough. I’ll go with Aladdin”, Logan said.
“Aladdin?!”
“I grew up with three sisters, what did you expect?!”
Leo shook his head fondly.
“Mine is Pride and Prejudice.”
“Oohh, I love that one.”
Logan slammed his hand on the table.
“Our turn”, he said, grinning excitedly.
“What is your favourite colour?”
“Blue.”
“What did you want to be as a child”, Leo blurred out next.
“A dancer, actually. My grandma took me to the ballet every now and then.”
Leo looked at him, smiling.
“Dog or cat?”
“Dogs. Puppies.”
“You have one right in front of you.”
Leo and Finn laughed at that.
“Do you do anything else besides teaching to dance?”
“I’m studying English literature but just for funsies.”
“Left-handed or right-handed?”
“Right.”
“Do you have a sibling?”
“I do. Alex, he is my older brother. Jesus why are you going through those so fa-“
He was cut off by the waitress for the second time this night.
“Three cocktails for the three gentlemen.”
Finn eyed his one skeptically when it was placed in front of him.
“I’m scared”, he admitted.
“Just drink it!”, Logan grinned wickedly.
He held it up, sniffed it first before taking a sip, starting to cough immediately.
“Logan! For fucks sake. I am a dancer; I don’t drink alcohol! You need to warn me. Fuck, is this gasoline?”
“No, tequila”, Leo laughed.
Logan was unable to breathe, let alone talk. He was bend over, laughing so hard he was nearly wheezing, causing the other two to laugh even more.
-----
Finn went home happy that night, laying in his bed, thinking about Leo’s curls and eyes, and dimples - god those dimples.
But right as he was drifting off to sleep another name popped up in his mind – Logan’s name.
Oh no.

cat treats are meant for cats (only)
Jun x (gender neutral) Reader comedy, fluff?? | 1.4k
synopsis: the faint meowing you’ve been hearing for the past half-hour was actually, in fact, just your boyfriend.
a/n: this idea popped into my mind one day and i had to write it so... not as elaborate as my writing usually is (i think), this was just for funsies but i hope you enjoy !!
Tumblr media
=====
It started faint, almost non-existent, so you didn't pay much attention to it and brushed it off as some distant noise from one of the neighbouring units.
But then it got a little louder and more persistent until you really couldn't deny something was going on and that it wasn't just a trick of the ear. So you put your phone down and stared into the hallway, eyes unfocused as you strained your ears. You waited until the sound came again.
Meow.
There it was. You knew your building allowed for pets, and you knew that if you walked onto your balcony, you would be directly facing a community park. However, you also knew that no one on your floor owned a pet, and as far as your memory goes, you've never seen someone take their cat out for a walk. Even if it was a sunny day today.
And the meowing sounded far too close to you.
"You idiot, why would you — arghgh."
Now that was definitely Jun's voice echoing down the halls. You put everything down and shuffled your way over to the bedroom where your boyfriend was, head leaning out of the open window. He had his hands stuck out as well and was waving them around a little. The fresh air cooled the room, and you instinctively took a deep breath before speaking up.
"Junnie, love, what in the world are you doing?"
His head whipped around, and his eyes lit up, delighted to see you.
"Y/n! There's a cat in the tree outside." He promptly went back to sticking his head out the window to make sure that the cat was still there.
You stifled a laugh at his statement and joined him. Sure enough, there was a cat perched on one of the large branches closest to your window. It was a tabby cat, if you identified it correctly, and its cream coloured fur was decorated with a unique pattern of white. It must’ve gotten frightened and scurried up the tree.
"The meowing just now was you?"
"Oh, you heard?" Jun asked, turning his attention from the cat to you. He seemed surprised to be told that you heard him.
"I know there are kids outside screaming in the park, but it's hard to not hear you meowing from the other room. What exactly are you trying to do?" The boy seemed so happy to have his day entertained with the presence of a cat and you wanted to indulge him. He's told you many times how he's always wanted a pet of his own, but you've both never had the chance to actually decide and commit to one. Nor have you guys really gone into depth on that discussion.
"Trying to communicate to it, of course! I want to help it climb down from the tree." He proceeded to meow again at the cat, only to have it stare indignantly back at him.
"Is this what you were calling an idiot before, too?" You quirked your eyebrows as you asked.
Jun blushed and hid his face with his hands for a moment at your question. "It just came out, I didn't mean to insult the cat I promise — many apologies were said afterwards. I told it to move back but instead, it stepped forward and almost fell off and I got worried." He pouted and you laughed at his concern for the feline.
"So I'm taking that it hasn't been cooperating with you, because I swear I started hearing the meowing at 1:00 and now it is," You paused to check your phone for the time. "1:37."
"Listen, we have something going on! I can feel the connection, it's just not quite there yet. How about you try?"
"Me?"
"Yeah, you."
You faced him, suddenly feeling a sense of pressure, partly because of the responsibility he had given you, but also because you felt like you had to prove yourself to a cat of all things. "Like, just... meow?" You clarified.
"Perfect! But do it to the cat, not me. Unless you wanted me to meow back." He blinked at you expectantly.
"No, I'm good." You chuckled when you heard him still meow at you underneath his breath.
"Here goes nothing." You pursed your lips and waited for the cat to at least look somewhat in your direction. "Meow."
It simply went back to caring for its front paws.
"Meow." You tried again, putting a little more emphasis onto the "meow" (trust, that totally makes sense).
This time, it meowed back and you gasped, turning towards Jun who was staring at you in shock.
"I spend ten minutes just trying to get it to look at me and you get it to reply on the second try?" He sputtered out, scandalized at the unfair results.
"Well, what can I say? They all call me the cat whisperer." You replied haughtily.
"Y/n, no one has ever called you a cat whisperer before."
"Let me have my glory, would ya?" You playfully poked his side and meowed at the cat once more. Just like last time, it meowed back.
"Bro I'm getting good at this." You giggled, rubbing your hands together as you tried to think of a plan.
"Okay, kitty—"
"How is it going to understand English now?" Jun interrupted your focus.
"Shut up, we have a bond here."
"Okay, kitty," You started again and eyed one of the large branches. "You need to step back and climb down. Stop coming closer to us—"
You shut up when the cat meowed loudly back at you and inched in the complete opposite direction as what you instructed. When it plopped itself closer to the edge of the branch than you would've liked, you shot a worried glance at your boyfriend who seemed deep in thought.
"I think I've got an idea." He hummed and went over to one of his drawers to pull out a bag of cat treats. 
"You just have cat treats lying around? In your room?" You gawked incredulously at the unopened bag. 
"You're not eating them are you?" You then blurted out, concerned for the boy.
"What?!" He quickly shook his head in denial. "No, of course not. I give them to the stray cats I see when I'm out."
You let out a sigh of relief. You had asked that question as a joke, but hearing him confidently reject the idea was also reassuring. You never knew what your boyfriend was capable of.
Jun grit his teeth as he tried to open the package and you watched the fight between him and plastic intently. Just as it began to rip open, his hand slipped and a few of the treats fell out of the bag and onto the grass way below you.
Three heads turned to look at the fallen treats.
Yes. You, Jun, and the cat.
Two heads then turned to look at the cat.
With a happy meow, the tabby leaped off the branch it was on and landed on the grass gracefully. Now both of your jaws dropped at the scene in front of you.
"You're telling me it could've done that the entire time?" Your voice faltered.
"Sneaky! You deceitful creature!" Jun half-heartedly shook his hand angrily at the cat.
"I already miss it." He then said quietly and you let out a small laugh, rubbing his back in consolation.
You watched the cat scour the ground below for the lost treats for a while before you spoke again.
"Hey, why don't we go down there and see if it's actually a stray. If it is, maybe we can take it in? Bring it to the vet first to get it checked out and whatnot." You trailed off and smiled when he brightened up at your offer.
"Seriously? You're alright with that?" He gasped.
 "If everything checks out, I don't see why not." You happily shrugged your shoulders and pointed your head at his drawer. "We already have the treats aspect down anyways."
Jun pulled you into a hug at that and continued to ramble on about how happy he was to take in the cat, despite how troublesome it may have been earlier. 
“I have many more cat treats in my drawer.” He whispered into your ear and you sighed, smiling at his love for the creature. 
Then, Jun leaned out the window again to yell at the cat.
"Stay right there! We're coming to get your autograph!"
Needless to say, there were a few curious glances sent your way because a grown man yelling out the window really wasn't an everyday sight. But that didn't matter when you saw how big the smile on Jun's face was when you both returned home that day with a new pet in hand.

IF YOU HAVENT READ BOO’S RECAP for the previous session (chapter 4) of our Call of Cthulhu But With Bendy Added game YOU REALLY SHOULD......
okay are u caught up? You got the reveal? 
okay cool
SO WE FOUND OUT WE’RE DEAD!!! Well, specifically Sammy and Joey have been killed(?) and this whole adventure it’s just been Henry haunted by his two friends, and we have just been POSSESSING HENRY every time we interact with the world in any tangible way, and every time we have a conversation it’s just been Henry Having A Conversation With Himself to everyone else’s eyes, WHICH I GUESS EXPLAINS why everyone has been acting so unsettled and frightened every time we start bickering with each other!! I have been just LOSING IT thinking back through everything we’ve done and imagining Joey and Sammy’s expressions and body language on Henry’s physical form. INCREDIBLE.
Also, while Sammy’s mind/spirit/???? is stuck with Henry, his ink-drowned body appears to have gone a bit prophet-y and is running around with this cult talking about serving his lord and sacrificing sheep, which Sammy would just rather not deal with. Sammy Being Deeply Embarrassed By His Ink Self is my favourite genre of comedy
(also credits to @sketch-cryptid for their henry design..... he’s just, v soft,)
OUT OF CONTEXT QUOTES AGAIN!
[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (sketch-cryptid), and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]
[Sammy] [ooc] Unless one of them decides, “I'm not going to follow Henry, he seems responsible,” and just stays put at the hotel, then that doesn't help us-- [Joey] Well, Henry's "crazy," so [Henry] Honestly, yeah, I think maybe if we have Henry and Joey split off, then those might be the ones that they'll follow, which... leaves..... S a m m y  to talk to Senegal I guess;;;??? [Sammy] ...I don't know how to feel about the way that you said that.
[Joey] I guess once Joey's downtown he's going to, kind of look around and see if he was followed. [GM] Make a Spot (hidden) roll! [Joey] *rolls* [Joey] ... he is not going to look around and see if he was followed!
[Henry gets a hidden message in his sketchbook, "They're doing all they can, please don't blame them for leaving you."] [Henry] Okay, then, he's going to write back "who do you mean?" [GM] "Who do you mean?" [Henry] Yeah, who is "they"? [Sammy] Unclear antecedent. That's what I'm writing in the book, "unclear antecedent."
[Joey] Once he's back at the table, Joey is definitely drinking Henry's drink. I don't think he's noticed that it's not his, just, his hand came in contact with it and now he is drinking it.
[GM] Looking out the window, you don't see any guards, but you do think you see some black drips on the balcony-- [Sammy] UHHH CLOSING THE WINDOW. NOT ENGAGING. [Joey] Sammy Does Not See It... Sammy is Looking Away,
[GM] After a bit, he probably starts distantly hearing That Song again. [Sammy] WHY ME. UM.......... THAT’S FINE. It's just very annoying. It's hard to play music when someone is playing music loudly next door. [GM] It's quiet. But it's also Sammy.
[GM] There is a tough-looking individual that is holding a gun onnnnnn..... Henry! [Henry] Why me? [Joey] WHY HENRY?!
[GM] "Correct me if I’m wrong, but you're with Joey Drew Studios?" [Joey] Yes! And it's about fucking time you talked with us! [Joey] [ooc] Sorry, I rolled a one on my Bad Decision dice.
[Joey] [to our kidnappers] ...Can we have a car? [GM] ...........make another Fast Talk check.
[Sammy] ...Tom is the one being stabbed, right? [Joey] I guess? If he's already hosting whatever it is-- [Sammy] My dream ended with me getting stabbed... [Joey] Joey's gonna take a moment to kind of process that, and says something along the lines of, Well, we can't let that happen! Who else is going to write the songs? [Sammy] tHANKS,
[Henry] Really!! Can I get-- [Sammy] an amen [Henry] --a straight answer!
[Joey] Joey pockets the map, and he looks between the two of them............. and he bolts! [Sammy] oKAY, [Henry] Can I roll... to grab him.... [Sammy] Runs after Joey! [Henry] runs after Joey..., [GM] Um, okay -- [Henry] I want to make a roll to grab him, I will wrestle him to the ground. [Joey] I want to make a roll to lose them! [GM] uhhhh..... in retrospect I should've looked up the chase rules.....
[GM] *still looking up chase rules* Why is it all about cars?!? [Sammy] Get back in the car, chase after Joey! Sammy's gonna hit him with a car! [Joey] This is why he needs the cane later.
[Henry] DREW. You are not leaving us! You're not going by yourself, you're going to get yourself killed. [Henry] And then he's going to try to drag him to a halt. [Joey] I do think, Joey is just going to kind of stare at him,,, he wasn't ready for Henry to take that tone with him,,,,
[Sammy] I'm not really sure what decisions my past self thought most wise. Apparently, my past self thought coming on this trip was a good idea! [Henry] *mumbling* I don't think any of us thought this was a good idea.
[Sammy] Sammy really is impressed at the way that Joey is able to weaponise his worst qualities.
[GM] Make Spot (hidden) checks too, just for funsies. [Sammy] Oh! Oh just for funsies! Just a little, a fun activity, planned just for us!
[Henry] Have we ever gotten Binoculars’ name? [Joey] No. [GM] I know it, but no, you haven't. [Sammy] [in character voice] "Binoculars" works! We all know who we're talking about! [Henry] Oh, no, that wasn't in character! That was just ME wondering. [Joey] Henry's also wondering this, but just not saying it. [Sammy] Sammy just takes a moment to think about how much we don't need to know Binoculars' name!
[Joey] He is going to take out his gun, and then-- [Sammy] Oh! That's right! We have guns!
[Joey] Joey is going to toss the mask on the ground and step on it with his foot to break it. [GM] It... it snaps! [Sammy] [ooc] NO, MY LORD
[Joey] Sammy, is that you...? [GM] No reply. [Joey] ...Binoculars?! [Sammy] ........we really should've got his name.
[Joey] *pushes Sammy's voice out of the way*
[Sammy] We’ve gotta bring Joey back to life, so we can strangle him.
[Henry] Oh my god. I didn't expect ANY of this!! [Henry] I expected this game to be a short, fun session of, you know, Oh! That's neat! That's a Bendy, that's a Bendy right there! I DIDN'T EXPECT... THIS.
[Sammy] [ooc] I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HENRY’S BEEN FAST-TALKING WHILE POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF JOEY DREW.
[Sammy] Sammy thinks it'd be a great idea for you to go back and grab one of those Bendy masks, and put it on. [Henry] *sighs* ...would it make you feel better, if I went back and grabbed a Bendy mask? [Joey] NO.
[GM] And you hear a voice from the bushes say, "Anything for my Lord!" [Sammy] Oh god, it's me.
[Henry] NO WAIT, this is Sammy, I can't kill him! [Joey] Hit him with the back of the axe! [Sammy] Throw a projector at him, that works really well!
[GM] The creature skids to a halt, and the snickering happens again, and it says "I had you going that time, though, didn't I?" [Henry] Henry, uh, hesitantly stops running, [Henry] Uh, yeah, you did! Is this a trick, should I keep running. [Sammy] Well THAT's the sort of question that ALWAYS gets answered honestly!
[GM] It seems they're implying that whoever is currently the host made a deal that ended up with the Lurker starting to look like Bendy, and Henry being unable to die. [Joey] *distressed noises of realisation* [Sammy] That sure sounds like the kind of deal Joey would make, doesn't it?! DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING JOEY WOULD WANT, FOR HENRY TO NEVER DIE?!?!
[Joey] Joey is having his own breakdown now, because he finally accepted that he did something wrong, and thus his brain has gone into both overdrive and.... it's like a computer that's overheating, [Sammy] Joey doesn't know how to function when things are his fault.
[GM] Increasing your spiritual power, for lack of a better way to put it -- which you've repeated now, how many times? [Sammy] This buff stacks? That seems like an oversight. [Henry] No, don't tell the devs! [Sammy] I mean, admittedly, Joey has done a bit of, of cheating, I think? Which is unsurprising for him.
[Sammy] If Joey's the host, I wouldn't be surprised if whatever deal he made might result in him not dying in addition to you. [Henry] Yeah, it sounds like, in all the previous loops, either I died, or he died. [Sammy] I'm not really sure what I got out of this arrangement. [Henry] I'm not sure either. [Joey] *hopefully*... some quality time in Haiti?
[Henry] [to the ink demon lurker creature] Anything else we should know? [GM] It does a shrug. It looks real weird.

Celeste, Summer 1
It’s only been a couple weeks and I completely forgot how I was doing this before. Well, whatever. This is the first round for Blue Celeste, aka the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, in Lake Buena Vista the Disney-themed BaCC!
Tumblr media
Art is a very popular pastime in Lake Buena Vista, possibly because I am going easy on the sim economy and allowing sims to sell their Art to the ether. Not sure that will last forever, but for now it’s keeping them afloat.
Tumblr media
Blue is only Nobility, not Royalty, see. That makes the til-now-standard Politics job not an option for her. She wants to be a Media Magnate, which thankfully synergized well with some of the basic self-employment options; to qualify to found the Journalism Guild, her only available options are Writing a Novel and Having 8+ Interest in Politics or Entertainment, and the latter would require her to buy a magazine from a community lot nobody’s built yet. So, novels it is.
Here, she is working on various friendships; due to availability she’s going to have to petition Snow White for permission to marry a commoner. Once she actually has one in mind, of course.
Tumblr media
She’s also a Night Owl, which is a trait that took some getting used to.
Tumblr media
~Honest John walks in with a mischievous grin~
Tumblr media
...he stole her paper while she was on the phone. I couldn’t resist.
Tumblr media
Anyway, Blue spent her days sleeping in and working on her novel...
Tumblr media
...and her nights HELLO. That’s Bashful Goodmountain. I repeat, BASHFUL. They had good chemistry, so I had her spend some time talking to him on the phone, and the first time she invited him over THIS HAPPENED.
Tumblr media
...they are precious.
Tumblr media
PRECIOUS.
Tumblr media
He even sang to her! For Disney characters that’s like third base!
Tumblr media
I had them paired up as a possibility on my spreadsheet, but did not anticipate they’d be so cute together. Next round, I will probably move him in with her and have her petition Snow White--but I gotta have one round of him living in the dwarf cottage with his brothers.
...I completely missed the royalties call for her novel, by the way. So we’ll just say her first novel didn’t sell, and it does not qualify her for the Journalism Guild until a novel does sell. Not that it matters; she can’t exactly afford to build a guild hall yet. And I also managed to completely forget about having her grow her own crops AGAIN, sooooo I really gotta make Gepetto or somebody set up a grocery store.
I also did some tinkering with my mods, as one or two weren’t working correctly, and realized maybe I don’t actually like Boiling Oil’s Alien Experiments mod? It’s a cool idea, and I thought it would be a fun way to get more supernatural sims into the hood... but in playing with a different hood in the same build--a Strangetown for funsies--I found I was disappointed every time an abducted sim didn’t come back pregnant. I was excited about the same-sex pregnancy token part, but... I have rules for that that might not cooperate well with the mod? and it might just be easier to just make same-sex pregnancies happen when I choose rather than using a whole mod? I’ll think about it some more, but that mod might just be Not For Me.
OH, and I nearly forgot. Blue Celeste is a Popularity sim who wants to become a Media Magnate; her traits are Good, Nuturing, Dramatic, Night Owl, and Disciplined (which I decided sounded accurate for somebody appointing consciences, even if its Sims meaning isn’t like that), and her hobby is Arts and Crafts. Next up is Lucinda Verene, the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella; I already played her round, and she too has a surprisingly good love interest. I’m pretty excited about it.

Chan as your older brother AU 💖✨
Tumblr media
word count: 1.4k
genre: fluffiest of all fluffs, you’ll rot your teeth, bullet point fic
warnings: swearing
Disclaimer: I do not personally know Chan. This work is purely fiction and my own idea. I took inspiration from his on screen persona. Please do not translate or re-upload my work.
Tumblr media
☆ Let’s start with you two as babies. 
☆  Chan probably LOVED the idea of having a younger sibling he probably crawled to his mum with her baby bump and he'd softly talk to you "please come out quickly baby 🥺"
☆ Then he’d get impatient and ask “is it time yet?” Then he’d start whining and pouting “How much looonger? Baby is so sloooow”
☆ “is it gonna be a boy or a girl?” he wasn’t particular about the gender as long as he gets a playmate 
☆ Probably helped your parents pick your name even
☆ He was just THAT much invested in helping mummy raise the baby and in return he gets to play kill me I might just start crying just by THINKING about it asdfghjkl
☆ When he heard the baby is here, the Flash had nothing on Bang Christopher Chan as he literally ZOOMED through the corridors of the hospital to where his mum was staying to jump up on the bed. 
☆ There’s at least 10 different photos of Chan holding you on the hospital bed as soon as you were born. #cutie
☆ When your mum was discharged and everyone came home, he would cuddle you and just WOULD NOT LET GO
☆ And he'd sing lullabies to you
☆ He would speak in ᵗᶦⁿʸ and just talk ˢᵒᶠᵗˡʸ around you so he wouldn’t frighten you
☆ No jealousy whatsoever........ okay maybe just a liiiiiitle bit
☆ He’d feel a little jealous when he realised he didn’t get as much affection as he used to when he was the only child
☆ But that quickly changes when he receives attention from one of his parents preferably his mum Channie is a mamma’s boy I don’t make the rules
☆ When you were a newborn, your parents would have you sleep with them in their room. Chan would scamper out of his room in the middle of the night to sleep with the three of you because he was a wee bit jealous you got to sleep with mum and dad.
☆ It became a routine very quickly after that
☆ But your parents wouldn’t let him sleep next to baby because what if he accidentally hits you in his sleep. What a struggle. So he’d sleep on the edge of the bed cuddled in his mum’s arms. don’t touch me I’m soft
☆ Your mum would dress you two in matching outfits and take dozens of photos. “EW MUM WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!” you two looked the absolute cutest so it doesn’t matter
☆ Slowly when you two grew up and you started crawling, you’d follow him everywhere because he was so intriguing to baby you
☆ He started finding you annoying “STUPID BABY”
☆ But he’d still cry if something happened to you
☆ Slowly he started liking you back again
☆ He liked the idea of someone looking up to him and from then on he was your little protector.
☆ He was your guardian angel, he was your hero. He’d do anything to protect you. Scratch that, he still is. He always will be.
☆ Now you guys are older as tweens/teens/young adults whichever you prefer
☆ Eats your share of food- looking into the little nook in the fridge to take out your hidden stash of candy but your favourite one is gone. 
☆ You confront him about it and he looks guilty. You're extremely annoyed but at the same time you can't stay mad for too long. 
☆  He makes it up to you by buying you two of your favourite candies or treats you to something else. 
☆ "Why steal my food in the first place if you're gonna treat me anyway?" He'd shrug "for some reason it tastes better" so you smack him upside his head and then it escalates into a mini wrestling match
☆  He's a very active guy who’s into a lot of sports but when you ask him to teach you he's very whiny "noooooo later" but then when you're chilling he'll show up "come on let's go swimming" and you're like "noooooo" he'd be like "I thought you wanted to go? Come on" and drag you along even though you don't want to and it’s like “why didn’t you do this WHEN I TOLD YOU?”
☆ But he makes it fun for you in the end and afterwards he treats you to ice cream. 
☆ Eats a lot. If your mum gives you both a bowl of food. He'll inhale it like he's never eaten before in like 5 minutes and you're confused like how did he finish it all and it was piping hot meanwhile you haven't even finished 1/3rd of your bowl 
☆ so he's done and he's staring at your bowl with greedy eyes "you gonna finish all of that?" *switches to puppy eyes* you're like "yeah" so you continue eating until you finish half then just hand the rest over to him and it's all gone in a minute. 
☆ Your mum has no idea he eats half of your food when she gives you equal amounts and you'll never tell her because she'll scold you for never finishing her food so Chan is like your personal eco garbage disposal because he eats everything
☆ It’s like a dirty secret between you two what she doesn’t know won’t kill her
☆ He'll be your emotional support human he'll be the first person you always go to when you need a pick me up. 
☆ And it's a guarantee he'll always make you feel better whether it's through his words or his actions because both feel like a huge, cozy and warm hug
☆ If someone bullies you, your normally sweet and gentle older brother will go on a rampage "WHO THE FUCK HURT MY BABY BROTHER/SISTER?! I'M GONNA KILL EM"
☆ He’s the Golden child of your parents because he's good at everything but it never matters to you because Chan never makes you feel lesser than you seem to think of yourself. He's always supporting you and uplifting you 
☆ Tries to help you with your homework and in turn learns a few things himself. 
☆ He's a big help with poetry, literature or creative writing homeworks (wbk)
☆ You two are really close and you always talk about random stuff he's not just your older brother he's also your best friend
☆ Even your friends ask about him and want to be his friend too because he's so cool, some of them have crushes on him and you’re like “ew what’s there to like?” *fake gags*
☆ He's always nice to everyone he sees. Elderly people love him too because he's such a gentleman.
☆ He's very proud to have you as his sibling he'll proudly show you off to his friends. “THIS IS MY LITTLE BROTHER/SISTER :D”
☆ If he's having fun with his friends but if something is wrong with you he will drop everything and race to you as quick as humanly possible to make sure you're okay because he's not okay if you're not okay. this is science ok
☆ Sometimes you two bicker a lot but it's sibling banter where you end up laughing
☆ Shows you funny memes or jokes he finds on the internet be like "that's you" or "this is so me lmao"
☆ Tags you in siblings memes be like "us"
☆ If your parents are angry at you for something he'll try to defend you if he feels it's not your fault 
☆ But if something IS your fault he'd try to calm his parents down and then tell you about how wrong you are to do something in private so your parents don't put you down even more
☆ You always go to him for advice first. Not your parents, him. His input, opinions and approval mean the most to you. Because he’s the coolest.
☆ You two goof around a lot. Carpool karaokes on the daily. 
☆ You two would sing/rap together to songs and have a blast
☆ You feel insecure about your voice but Chan makes you feel like a popstar
☆ You two would post anonymous YouTube covers together when you slowly grew confident with singing. Just a side thing for funsies 
☆ He’s your rock sometimes you feel like he does too much for you and you can't do anything for him in return
☆ But little do you know Chan is the strongest because of you by his side always cheering him on. Your very existence gives him strength for everything
☆ You two have each other's backs through thick and thin
☆ Because of Chan as your older brother you're a better version of yourself everyday

for the ghosts asks game: 9, 11, 13, 15, 28 for Thomas, Julian and Robin, and 31 :)
9. Which ghost would you say you're most like?
Half Thomas (which is somewhat unfortunate lol) and half Pat (which is very fortunate lol) with a bit of Kitty!
11. What is a (popular or not) fan theory that you love?
Oh this one is tough because I haven't given too much thought fan theory stuff lol. Hm, I don't say this because I love the idea of it, but rather that I fully believe it, is that Eleanor was 100% responsible for Kitty’s death.
13. Favourite ship and why?
Thomas x Myself lmao. I don’t really have too many ships in the show, surprisingly, but PatCap is growing on me tbh. And since Mike doesn’t seem so insecure anymore (sorry Mike), I like him a lot more now and therefore I like him and Alison more now (I never disliked him or them together, but his actions in Perfect Day really bothered me). 
15. If you could go back in time and live in the house/on the property at the same time as one of the ghosts when they were alive, who would you pick?
Kitty because the Georgian era looked neat but also to save Kitty from her shitty life. Thomas because the Regency era seems cool as hell but also to have Thomas fall in love with me lmao. Pat because the 80s slap. Julian because the 90s slap. 
28. Top 5 headcanons for Thomas, Julian, and Robin?
This was super hard and I’m terrible at coming up with headcanons lol
Thomas - he would enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, he’d really like musicals, he listens to music the most out of any of the ghosts (much to their annoyance) and loves songs about love of course (often unrequited), will get over his infatuation with Alison but it’s hard when he’s always around her, is definitely an infp
Julian - wants his daughter to show up to Button House some day, wants to make up for ruining his family in life by really being a part of his found family in death, is pansexual, what he misses most about being alive are drinking and sex with randos equally, prefers 90s movies and shows but will watch others 
Robin - got his ability to mess with the lights by a) being killed by lightening or b) thinking electricity was really neat because it was like fire lol, picks up new skills with ease (tho he can’t do much with the skills he acquires), sometimes wishes that Alison and Mike would get a dog or any pet really, sometimes runs around the woods (during the day) for funsies, is the sweetest (but that’s canon)
31. If you could do a complete redesign of one of the ghosts' costumes, whose would you change and how?
Fanny’s I think. I’m just not the hugest fan of her dress. 
Thank you so much for the questions!

Sitting in my draft folder. I wrote this last summer and never posted it because I didn’t finish writing it and forgot to finish, but hey let’s post it now for funsies!
A Very Condensed Summary of My Reactions While I Binged Most of Owl House Season 2 (In August 2021)
 Ep1
* So this Golden Guard is the new antagonist of S2, ok. Cool looking character design . . . (then he talks) OH, he’s pretty young, didn’t expect that. And that’s . . . a really nice VA whoever that is. Hm, ok so they’re making this character a cocky lil shit, ok. Yeah, he sure is a jerk . . . . why do I sort of like him? >://// NO HE’S A JERK DONT LIKE HIM noOOo stop
* Eda protecting the selkie-monster was great, I love that they protected the cool monster instead of the typical ‘slay the beastie’ plot
* Hootie and Lillith friendship not expected but hey I can roll with it
Ep 2
* In this world it is apparantly good and normal for citizens to just casually buy what’s essentially military-grade weaponry, ok. I am even more scared of this world now
* I noticed Alador goes along with his wife but doesn’t seem as eager to cruelly manipulate his kid like Odalia is, hmm, wonder how that’s gonna play out later
* Ok I love the direction they’re taking the glyph magic, that’s just awesome
* HeCkkk yeah Amity jumping in to rescue Luz (& defend her honor) and being all bad-ass, that was perfection
Ep 3
* Oh man this ep. When Eda told King the truth and he was melting down about it, it broke my heart. Oh man. And he bounced back so fast. If it was me I think it would have taken me a lot longer to process all that, lol. But hey it’s a cartoon, they don’t have a ton of time for their eps 
* But seriously, background story for King!! and raising a billion more questions is awesome, dope spooky monsters too
* Altho King naming it Jean-Luc just made me think of Picard 
* WAIT I forgot to add, Hooty . . . doing . . . THAT. Detaching from the house. Disturbing new revelations. It makes sense, from the direction of this season including Hooty as more of an actual character (and not just comedy relief), that they’d devise a way for him to actually participate more. But whoo boy it’s disturbing too lol
Ep 4
* A story that deals with snakeoil salesmen and medical scammers. I can’t help but think about recent world events and all the foolish anti-vaxxers. The story probably was not written with that in mind (no idea when the script was actually penned) but I still couldn’t help but think about it.
* Poor King. It didn’t even cross his mind his dad might not be a great guy until Lillith said that to him. It was super crappy of her to do that but she was too distracted by her own shit to realize it, so, eh, what can you do
* Lillith getting a taste for what it’s been like to be cursed for all those yrs was nice to see
* A portal lead, Titan’s Blood, whoo!
Ep 5
* GUS GETS AN EP WHOOOO this is so long overdue the kid has been ignored for so long
* Really great ep for him, so happy with it. Although I’m sad the pretty purple-haired girl with orange eyes turned out to be a jerk, I KNEW it was gonna happen too, I was like “NO come on the nice girl is gonna be a jerk again isn’t she? ;___;” Why does it gotta be the girl with the coolest-lookin’ design, man
* On that note I feel like the theme for this show is “people who seem nice are actually often jerks and people who seem like total jerks actually can often end up being v. good”
Ep 6
* Such a big lore drop, oohhh. 
* I love the idea of the Palisman so much, so I loved this episode. Thought it was very well done. And reflecting Luz’s uncertainty about her direction. I cannot wait to see what her Palisman eventually ends up being. I’m super glad they’re taking their time with it. Also I can’t wait to see Luz’s friends with their animal familiars.
* I am a bit confused though, if Plaismen are created via wild magic, doesn’t that make them illegal? Why is Hexside openly having an Palisman Day?
* Also WILL AMITY GET HERS??
* OK so . . . I love Hunter. love him love 
Ep 7
.........I missed this episode somehow? WOW how did I not realize that. Ok still need to watch an episode.
(The rest is unfinished)

so for funsies and bc wow buddy is not as put together as any of us thought, i decided it would be interesting to go back through the episodes where she monologues and find all the bits where it’s now like, super clear that she is projecting. because another great thing about buddy that we learned in Heart of it All is that she doesn’t really interalize her feelings. she doesn’t really introspect. she projects. 
(vespa does this too, which make the parallels between the vesbud storyline and the jupeter storyline just fascinating tbh. a pair who prefer to project their emotions vs a pair who internalize their emotions)
Tumblr media
okay! starting with the start, her line to juno in Time Gone By. in juno’s pov, and from an audience perspective at the time, it was shocking how well she knew exactly how to take juno apart here, but coming backward from Heart of it All it’s increasingly clear she’s talking about herself, her career, her connection to the lighthouse and to vespa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is a woman that, until very recently, has been throwing her life away on the idea of maybe, someday, somehow.
she’s has made the decision to stop doing that and instead has chosen the route of ‘do the job, and don’t get involved.’ & Buddy has to remind herself that this isn’t personal, it’s just business. 
Tumblr media
God I love her - telling juno she doesn’t have time for his moral waffling because she cannot afford to give herself any more time to think on this. 
She just made the decision to let her past go - to compromise her integrity and move on from waiting for love that will never return - and then she does! RIP Buddy Aurinko honestly, she's got to confront a lot of the choices she made and reasons for them and then PUSH ALL THAT AWAY so she can try to think of how to save Vespa.
buddy has spent a very long time, NOT being Buddy Aurinko. Before Heart of it All i was tempted to read this line as buddy implying that she knew more about Nureyev then she was letting on, that she could follow his pattern and track him through the last year of his life (a heartbroken, awful year) but now i am much more tempted to read this as buddy poorly attempting to empathize. lets not forget that this isn’t her first heist back, but it is her first time leading a group in a very long time, if ever. her first big heist with people who are not jet. she’s trying very hard and we should all applaud her
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“like having a heart embarrasses you,” - look, this one i’ll admit to being on the fence about, but in MY heart, it fits
the timeline is a little murky to me, tbh - this is, i have to assume, at the tail end of those two years she spent slowly killing herself with radiation. Come before jet saved her by taking her to hanataba, but only just. so i’ll file this one under: buddy ignoring her own advice
Tumblr media Tumblr media
again, the timeline is murky, so we don’t know exactly WHEN she said this to jet, but we can assume it was during or after the hanataba clinic. and if i’m assuming that she is projecting here too, i can also assume that she has been planning the CMP heist for a very, very long time.
Which gives more weight to my ‘projecting on Peter Nureyev’ theory two quotes up. But, these are tenuous and i’m not AS sure about them as i am, Time Gone By
and finally, last but CERTAINLY not least, the line that started it all! this whole thread of, does buddy aurinko is projection: her being so uncomfortable keeping something this large, this awful, this potentially ruinous from vespa that she projects on nureyev! who, yeah, we THE AUDIENCE know is hiding something, but until jet called her out on keeping her health hidden, buddy had no problems with. not to mention, the mirror of measuring everyone else’s growth in the last year, but not at all mentioning her growth as a leader or her juggling the hats of captain and lover, or anything to do with herself. did she take her own measure ‘before’? did she like what she saw? clearly not. where does buddy aurinko stand now?
anyway, after so long assuming that buddy is the cool-headed, logical mastermind, its SO satisfying to have that be proven false bY BUDDY HERSELF. buddy is not an all knowing savant, all buddy know is practice witty-one-liners, projection, love vespa and drink

Could you please write Dukexiety with “I know what they’re saying to you seems like it’s true, but it isn’t. Im here for you. Those guys aren’t.” Being in some angst, you know?
Combining this prompt with:
I was wondering if you could do this prompt with Dukexeity? “Don’t listen to them. You’re the coolest guy I know!” - anon
I love it when prompts match up together :) This is early stages pre-relationship, or if you prefer to read it as platonic (and eventual QPPs) then go right ahead!

***
Remus had long ago learned that people could be cruel. He’d been lucky to learn the lesson while he was at home, loved by his parents and brother, and supported well enough by the junior high he went to. He’d learned that if you were your best friend first then it gave you a kind of armour against all the horrible things people threw out, and it meant you never had to rely on or wait for someone else to remember to say something nice to you, because you could do it yourself. 
Virgil had not been quite so lucky. 
He was a quiet child, with a fairly normal single parent household after an equally fairly normal rocky end to his parents’ relationship when he was five. School was not awful, but he didn’t have quite the backup that Remus did when the kids picked him out as an easy target. He’d tried to make friends, running after the group of nice and not-super-popular kids who were always friendly but seemed to always try and hide from him, too nice to tell him to his face they just didn’t want him around. 
After a while he stopped following them, and he could see from their relieved smiles when they saw him that they thought it was better this way. People could be cruel, even when they didn’t really meant to. 
High school was a different matter, because the school was about three times as large and it was suddenly easier to hide. Thousands of kids running around the hallways, a whole little pocket of kids like Virgil, like Remus, who were the oddballs of their previous schools and now... suddenly weren’t as noticeable. They formed a little pack of their own, scoffing at the popular kids, finding safety in numbers, but even here there was cruelty. 
So it was that he found himself running off to hide under the staircase sniffing into his hoodie. So what if he thought Marvel films were cool? So what if he didn’t know who some indie band were?! That didn’t make him lame! That didn’t make him a sell out or a wannabe cool kid! That- maybe it did though? 
“Virgil! There you are, geez you move fast,” Remus said, skidding under the staircase beside him on his knees and catching his breath. “Woo, I gotta get in shape, grunge-chic really doesn’t cut it when I have to keep up with you. You’re fast, dude!” 
Virgil stared at him, face blank with confusion, and his expression softened to sympathy. “Don’t listen to them. You’re the coolest guy I know!” Remus told him, nudging his arm carefully. “I know what they’re saying to you seems like it’s true, but it isn’t. I’m here for you. Those guys aren’t. They’re just jerks who think they’re cool because they hate everything.” 
“But they know all the right-”
“Woah, now,” Remus held up his hand, bopping Virgil on the nose. It was so out of the blue that Virgil felt his panic recede slightly, pushed out of the way by a startled snort of amusement. “Oh hey, you do laugh! I knew it. Roman owes me so many noogies, man, but I gotta prove it to him so let’s test this. Is it a magic smile button?” He grinned, booping Virgil’s nose again, and making the sound effect for funsies. 
It did indeed make Virgil laugh, slightly helplessly, blinking shyly at Remus with growing awe. How did he do that? Was he some kind of magic spirit? 
Remus crowed in triumph and did it a few more times until Virgil was giggling, smothering the noise with his hand, his eyes crinkling. It felt achy and new on his face, and he liked it. “So that’s that experiment run. Where were we?”
The amusement died away and Virgil sighed. “The guys said-”
“Oh that’s right!” Remus interrupted quickly. “You were gonna say they were right! Well, nu uh, can confirm, not true. Totally false. They think they’re right, but we know better. Besides, who wouldn’t be into Chris Evans’ ass?!” And the giddy feeling was back, just like that. 
“How do you do that?!” Virgil wondered. 
“Do what?”
“Just, you’re so positive. And, it’s like, you don’t care at all what they think?”
Remus beamed proudly at him. “Oh, I assure it’s not just ‘like’ that. Why would it matter what some wannabe teenage rebels think about me? They’re not gonna give me my grades, or probably ever be the people I go to if I need help. They’re just guys with their own things going on.”
“Wow,” Virgil sighed. “I wish I could think like that.” He smiled when Remus shuffled over in front of him for another boop. 
“Just checking that still worked,” Remus grinned back. “But I have an idea. Why don’t you come round after school, and I’ll induct you into the cult of Remus! You too, can learn how to think like me, for the low, low price of maybe buying some soda and letting me beat you at mariokart a few times. If you’re good. If you’re bad at mariokart then I’ll just beat you anyway, that still counts. And you gotta let me boop you like, three times an hour at least, for the serotonin. What do you say?”
Was this... friendship?
Virgil blinked slowly at the other boy, his smile turning shy again. “Okay,” he said, lips lifting higher and higher until he was actually beaming back at Remus. “It’s a deal.”
Hanging out with Remus was actually really cool. It turned out later on that friendship was only the beginning of what they could mean to each other, but when they got there, that was actually really cool too. 
And Remus eventually forgot about the boop button, but soon enough Virgil just smiled whenever he saw him anyway, so they chalked it up to a win.

how can we deny what we feel?
summary: where cherry is joe’s date for a dinner party because he lost a beef. and when joe gives himself a chance to truly consider how beautiful cherry is. and how they nearly get into a brawl in the middle of the dance floor, because their love language has and always will be: fight first, fall in love later.  rating: e for explicit! wc: 4.7k!  pairing: matchablossom !!!  CAN BE READ ON AO3 + under the read more below! 
“Excuse me?” 
Kojiro anticipated the dirty, crumpled napkin, hurled his way and dodges just in time. Kaoru’s eyes widen and his eyebrows are crunched so hard Kojiro’s convinced they’ll connect by sheer force alone. His cheeks are red. His lips are pulled upwards into a snarl. Nothing out of the ordinary. 
“Just for a weekend,” Kojiro continued while Kaoru looked for a fork. Or a knife. Probably both. “It’s not like we haven’t done it before.”
“Once! One time! That was the promise!” Kaoru hisses and Kojiro is so close to losing it. 
“Okay, well, you know what they say about the second time being the charm… Don’t give me that look!” he takes a purposeful step back as Kaoru leans forward to grab him by the collar. “Listen. It’s for the restaurant. It’ll only be for a few hours. And the food will be delicious.” 
Kaoru’s expression barely shifted, but it’s one Kojiro noticed. A little acquiescence to the idea of good food- free, good food. Something Kaoru could never deny. Kojiro grinned. Kaoru’s shoulders visibly relaxed, though he was still on edge. That’s also nothing surprising. 
“... You think I’m so cheap to be bought by food, you brainless musclehead gorilla ?”
Kojiro’s eyebrow twitched. “I absolutely think you are, gearhead . Anyways, you lost the beef.” he crossed his arms over his chest, smug. “I’m just entertaining your back and forth at this point. You know the rules.” 
If there was a bet made during a beef, the losing party had to abide by the terms the winning party set out.  Kojiro knew this. Kaoru definitely knew this. He was just being stubborn. And really, if the roles were reversed, Kojiro would be doing the same thing. But they’re not. So he’s enjoying every second of it. 
“I hate you,” Kaoru mumbled, stabbing his fork into his steak Kojiro made. 
“The feeling’s mutual. So 8 o’clock. Be ready. And don’t bring Carla.” 
“Huh? That’s not a part of the deal! Carla comes or I don’t come.” 
“Do you have separation anxiety? She’ll be fine. She told me she needs space from you to spread her AI wings and fly.” 
“She would never speak to you or say anything like that. Carla comes .” 
Kaoru’s stubbornness was going to be the death of Kojiro. He was sure of it. “Alright. Alright she comes. But she’s on mute .” 
Kaoru opened his mouth and then promptly slammed it shut. “Fine. And one more thing.” he said, though it was much quieter than his earlier words. 
Kojiro raised an eyebrow. Waiting for Kaoru to speak. When he does, it's like he hadn’t spoken at all. “Huh? Speak up! Stop acting like you’re all shy!” 
“I-” Kaoru’s frustration was apparent. Kojiro braced himself for a hit but what came instead was… not expected. “No repeats. Of last time. Strictly platonic.” 
Ah. And maybe, at this point, a physical punch would have been better. Kojiro can’t tell why his stomach curled into a horrible twist or the sharp twinge that followed. Can’t explain why his brain suddenly went into overdrive about why and what does he mean as if he wasn’t aware of what Kaoru was referring to. 
He remembered the heat. And nails down his back. And the cramped fit of the closet. And being on his knees. 
Was this feeling, the weird heat up his neck, disappointment? 
Better play it off. 
“Cool with me,” Kojiro shrugged it off. He picked up Kaoru’s plate and placed it in the sink. “We go. We mingle. We leave. In and out. Easy peasy.” 
He carefully watched Kaoru’s expression and body. How the man’s shoulders still seemed taut with tension. How his frown deepened even further and his eyebrows were bunched so tightly, Kojiro feared they’d magically meld together and form one, pink unibrow. Kaoru wouldn’t look at him. But Kojiro caught the red tinge on the tip of his ears, and held back the urge to snort. 
Sometimes he was so easy to read. 
“In and out,” Kaoru finally said, agreeing. 
“Easy peasy,” Kojiro repeated, smiling. 
-
Dinner parties were never really Kojiro’s things.
Sure, they were fun. Especially when he got a few drinks in his system. And socializing was never a problem for him. Well, until he socialized a little too much. To the point where two people were fighting to see who went home with him. Cliche, horribly so, and happened a lot more than he would think it would-now that he gave it a little bit of thought. But then again, he had two hands-so why fight? 
That normally worked. 
As he adjusted his tie, he looked towards the suit hanging by his mirror. He really hated suits. They felt tight around his shoulders and arms always . He was a big guy, with a lot of muscle. He’d rather wear loose jackets, or no shirt at all. 
Really, this was all for formalities. A lot of investors and restaurant connoisseurs came to these kind of fancy smancy events. He’d rather be out skating. Out feeling the wind in his hair and the open road before him. Rather than feeling the gel in his hair, and the sparkling lights of chandeliers and designer jewelry. Had to be done, though. For the sake of business. If he wanted to keep his place afloat, he had to show up to these things at least once. Get his face out there. Make nice with people. Laugh at the right jokes. And then steal a platter of shrimp cocktails before heading home. 
And then there was Kaoru.
This wasn’t the first time he’s done this. Gone with Kaoru to one of these events. The first time it happened spurred from a late night, drunken conversation. When Kojiro had gotten a look at Kaoru's back profile, with his hair over his shoulder and his elegant stance-proud, sure, strong. And immediately thought about how Kaoru would look on his arm, done up in a different way from his usual attire. 
“Be my date for this dinner party,” Kojiro slurred, his smile coming across nice and easy. 
Kaoru frowned, confused. “Huh? Why?”
“Because you’re beautiful,” Kojiro had said aloud. Faster than he could catch them. But the words were already out in the air. And really, Kojiro was never one to go back on something once he’s said it. 
He watched as Kaoru’s face exploded in a brilliant shade of red. All the way to the tip of his ears. Kaoru didn’t speak. His mouth opened, but no sound came out. Instead, he had reached for his glass. Downed whatever whiskey was left. And quietly, but fiercely, responded-
“Fine.” 
That same night ended with them in a closet. Also drunk, but this time a little better dressed than Kojiro in one of his casual t-shirts and Kaoru in his casual kimono. How did they get into the closet? Kojiro wasn’t sure. 
But did they have fun in the closet?
As much as Kojiro remembered, they did. 
“No repeats,” he said to himself in the mirror. He wasn’t upset. Not really. Hooking up with Kaoru was not on the top of his list. But it did reside on his list. If he had to have a moment of honesty with himself as he stared at the reflection in his mirror. 
He slipped into his suit the same time as the door to his room opened. He caught Kaoru first in the mirror, and turned around immediately to get the full view. 
His hair was loose. Not in its usual high pony or low pony. But free. Kojiro had rarely seen Kaoru’s hair out since high school. He normally kept it tied up because he hated how it got into his hair. He didn’t have his glasses on. And he wore a brilliant purple kimono. 
Kojiro’s throat went dry. 
“What?” Kaoru fidgeted and Kojiro realized he must have been staring a little too intently. 
Kojiro beamed, from ear to ear. “You really know how to sweep a guy off his feet. I should have known your pride wouldn’t let you come dressed anything less than your best.” 
“Well, I have a rep to uphold,” Kaoru sniffed. 
“Right right. The purple is actually a good choice. It brings out my eyes.”
“You’re the most annoying individual to ever grace the earth.”
“Thanks, I try. Ready to go?” 
-
They arrived fashionably late. 
Kojiro never liked to be on time for things. Kaoru liked to be on time for things a little too much. 
So yes, maybe Kojiro did take an extra five minutes for them to do a shot of courage before leaving his place just to waste time and get on Kaoru’s nerves. 
Absolutely worth it. 
“You wanna drink?” 
“No,” Kaoru said, folding his arms across his chest. 
Kojiro shrugged and reached out for a champagne flute by a passing waiter. “Suit yourself. You’re gonna regret it later, though.” Kojiro could never get through this party without being a little drunk. Just for funsies. 
“We already drank before we came here.”
“One shot is not drinking.” 
Kaoru rolled his eyes and stalked off towards the buffet table. Kojiro watched as he left, gaze intent. Kaoru was usually a bundle of spikes and clenched jaws. However, when he was walking through the crowd Kojiro couldn’t deny the elegance and grace Kaoru swiftly adopted. 
Shoulders high, gaze straight and resolute, and striding with purpose. Kojiro carefully sipped his drink watching as the crowd of sparkling individuals quite literally parted for Kaoru. 
“He sure knows how to command a room,” Kojiro murmured. He scanned the crowd to see if any of the usual, important connections were there. He had at least three people he needed to follow up with about inventory, marketing, and promotions. So with another sip he slipped into the crowd himself to mingle. 
Mingling was easy. It didn’t take much for Kojiro to find what a person loved to hear and then, repeat those very same words like silver and silk to get what he needed. Conversation was never something Kojiro struggled to cultivate. Once he painted on his smile and adjusted his body language as open, friendly, and warm-the rest was quite easy. 
“Are you by yourself tonight, Kojiro?” Hana was one of Kojiro’s important connections in the restaurant business. She was beautiful and quick witted. Any restaurant in Okinawa who wanted to stay on top of the latest trends knew it was best to have her on their side then against them. She was, quite literally, the pulse of their social circle. 
Kojiro’s eyes cut through the crowd slowly. He found Kaoru at the buffet table chatting with a man Kojiro didn’t recognize. Kaoru was engaging pleasantly. No doubt putting on his fake, charming persona to engage the man with. 
“Hmmm,” he debated what to answer. He could say no. And see if that would lead to Hana offering to go off, just the two of them. They’ve hooked up before at one of these functions. And she was always a fun company to be around. 
But then he saw the man talking to Kaoru lean forward. Whispering something in Kaoru’s ear that made him flinch. 
“I am,” he said to her, smiling. And then took off to where Kaoru was. 
Kaoru caught Kojiro’s gaze as Kojiro was walking over, and Kojiro immediately caught the tense aura surrounding Kaoru like a cloak. 
“Kaoru,” Kojiro made his voice syrupy sweet, slipping an arm around Kaoru’s waist. Kaoru leaned in, pressed to his side. A part of Kojiro’s brain said this is right . He shut that part down. “Sorry to make you wait. I was catching up with some friends.” His gaze cut to the man who looked much smaller up close now that Kojiro had a good look at him. “Who’s this?”
“Oh, don’t mind me!” the man smiled shakily. “I was just complimenting your date’s attire, as all.”
“Did you have to lean so closely to do it?” Kojiro asked. “Surely you can respect another’s need for space and leave them be, no?”
“Kojiro,” Kaoru muttered. He placed a warning hand on Kojiro’s chest and then flashed the man a dazzling smile. “Don’t mind my date. He’s overprotective as all. Though I’d appreciate that if we ever have the unfortunate experience of crossing paths again, you don’t try to touch me so inappropriately in such a casual manner.” when Kaoru opened his eyes again they were sharp, and cutting. “Now begone.”
The man scurried off into the crowd without another word. 
Kojiro watched him go, laughing. “Man he can haul ass.” More seriously, he asked. “Are you okay?”
Kaoru yanked himself out of Kojiro’s arm. Kojiro looked down at the now empty space and frowned. “Fine. Did you have to do all that? I was capable of handling it myself.”
“You looked uncomfortable. What sort of date would I be if I didn’t come to your defense?”
“Oh please. Don’t act like you’re a gentleman when you were off flirting with some woman.”
“Who?”
“Don’t play dumb! The woman who was hanging off your arm!”
“Hana?” Kojiro asked, slowly. “We weren’t flirting.” then a beat later, “Yet.”
Kaoru scowled, muttering a curse Kojiro couldn’t hear but definitely felt. A waiter with a tray of champagne glasses walked by. Kaoru waved them over and grabbed two glasses. He downed them with scary efficiency and placed the empty glasses on the table. “I’m going out for some air. Don’t follow me.” 
Kojiro could have let Kaoru walk away from him again, tonight. But something in him wanted Kaoru to stay. Maybe this was another one of his urges to push the boundaries between them. Or, maybe, it was something within Kojiro that still felt irked having seen that man get a little too close to Kaoru.
Whatever it was, Kojiro reached out and grabbed Kaoru’s wrist. 
Kaoru turned back, glowering at their hands. “What?” 
“Let’s dance,” Kojiro responded, smiling. 
Kaoru balked, “Excuse me?”
The music turned into a slow tempo and Kojiro just continued grinning as he led Kaoru to the dance floor. “Dance. You and me. Do something a little different from getting incredibly wasted, stuffing ourselves with food, and then passing out in the Uber home.”
“That sounds much better than this idea,” Kaoru said but he still allowed himself to be pulled. And when Kojiro looked back, he could see a blush coating his cheeks. 
Cute , Kojiro thought. There were people on the dance floor, some chatting and some dancing with their dates. Kojiro wouldn’t call himself a dancer. But he’d been to enough of these events to know a few basic steps. He placed one hand on Kaoru’s waist, and grasped one of Kaoru’s hands in his own. 
“I’ll lead,” he smirked. 
“I’m going to step on all ten of your toes,” Kaoru smirked back. 
Kojiro threw his head back and laughed as he led them through the dance. “Please do! I’d love to see you try, metalhead.”
“Metalhead? I’ll have you know per your request I haven’t even unmuted Carla, you monkey in a monkey suit.”
“Monkey in a monkey suit? Is that the best you can come up with?” 
That earned him a stomp but it was well deserved. The two continued bickering back and forth through the dance, much to the amusement of anyone who caught them. It was truly comical. Kojiro turned them around and around while Kaoru barked insults and Kojiro threw back as good as he got. 
When the song ended, the two’s foreheads were pressed together. Their hands were now interlocked in a fierce embrace as they snarled at each other. 
“I didn’t even want to come! Meanwhile you basically blackmail me to come-”
“-You lost the beef, idiot!”
“Shut up! Don’t talk about that here! You brainless meathead! And then you have the audacity to flirt with someone woman when I’m your date!”
“Oh so I’m just supposed to turn away people who come talk to me while my date is getting himself felt up by somebody else?”
“You act like I wanted that to happen! I was ten seconds from ripping all his fingers off!”
“If you weren’t gonna do it, I was!”
“All you do is talk and talk and talk! That’s why I can never take you seriously. Because all the talk you speak is just empty flattery to everyone and everyone! You drive me crazy .”
“You’re the only person I never just chat to! You’re the only person I’m ever serious with!” God when did his voice get so loud. And when did their faces get so close. And when did Kaoru’s face get so slack, so shocked. What did he say? What had he said?
The weight of his words finally crashed. He felt like he’d just wiped out on the track. 
Kaoru leaned back. “What…” he said slowly, carefully choosing his words. “Do you mean by that?”
They’re on the dance floor in stupid, fancy attire. Amongst stupid, fancy people that Kojiro had to woo and smooze once every few months. Yet it’s in this moment where the chandelier is above them and the violin strings are softly building up momentum and Kojiro is filling the champagne in his veins and he can’t help but think. Think that in Kaoru’s rage he is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. 
At this moment, he could run. He could put on his pretty words and regulate Kaoru to everyone else, like he said. With pretty words and pretty lies and shallow promises. 
But it was Kaoru.
And Kaoru was always different. 
“It means. It means, I like you, Kaoru.”
The music stops. Kojiro’s feel his entire face heat up. Kaoru’s face turned a brilliant red and he’s so beautiful. God he’s so beautiful. Why had Kojiro never allowed himself to see that? To allow himself the ability to gaze upon the most beautiful man he’s ever had the pleasure of calling his best friend. 
Why has he not kissed him yet?
Kojiro pulled Kaoru back, until his arms were around his waist. Their foreheads touched again, and he could feel Kaoru’s heart pounding. And Kojiro’s remembering when they were drunk in the closet. And how he wished they weren’t in the closet, but back at his place. Getting to know each other. Getting to learn each other’s bodies. Getting to slowly fall in love with the parts of themselves they’ve always known, but now they could experience one another in a whole different fashion. 
He wanted that so badly he could taste it. 
“I like you,” he said, softer. He closed his eyes. And he’s not sure if his pulse quickens out of fear or exhilaration. 
“Kojiro,” Kaoru’s voice sounded strained. Kojiro opened his eyes, Kaoru’s face was still bright. His eyes shining with something Kojiro couldn’t quite place. But then Kaoru’s leaning forward, and their lips almost touch. “Take me home.”
If Kojiro didn’t know Kaoru so well, he would have taken those words as rejection. But Kaoru was gripping his shoulders tightly. Biting his bottom lip. Glancing down at Kojiro’s lips and then back again. 
“Yeah. Yeah ok.” 
“Is this alright?” Kojiro asked, as he placed a soft kiss on Kaoru’s neck. 
Kaoru gripped Kojiro’s shoulders, “You keep asking me that. I’ll punch you if I don’t like it.”
Kojiro frowned, lifting himself up. “One, don’t do that. And two, you said you didn’t want any repeats. I want to respect that. So tell me, now. If you want to keep going, or if you don’t.” 
He’d respect it. Even if every nerve in his body was screaming to be inside Kaoru and feel him down to the wire, if this wasn’t something Kaoru wanted to do tonight-he’d respect that. No questions asked. 
Kaoru glanced up at him, and Kojiro got such a glance of how wrecked Kaoru looked already. His lips were red and glistening from their earlier kissing. His pupils were blown and his kimono was slipping off his shoulders. The sight was… so much. It made Kojiro’s cock ache tightly against his pants. 
“Thank you,” Kaoru said softly. Then his hand moved to cup Kojiro’s hardening cock through his pants. He stroked a few times. Kojiro moaned, head dropping forward and hips shallowly moving into the touch. “I appreciate your concern, but.” his thumb traced the tip of Kojiro’s cock. He was too good with this. Moving his hand up and down Kojiro’s hardening erection like he was making brush strokes. “I want this.” 
“Are you sure?” Kojiro gritted his teeth as Kaoru gave him a particular squeeze. 
“Yes, you idiot.” Kaoru wrapped his legs around Kojiro’s waist, pulling him close. He leaned up so his lips were near Kojiro’s ears, “I want you to fuck me. Make a mess of me. I want to feel it tomorrow morning.”
Kojiro didn’t really need to be told twice. He stripped out of his shirt and jacket until he was just in his pants. Where he unzipped himself and freed his cock. He reached over to the bedside table where his lube and condoms were. 
Kaoru started stroking Kojiro’s cock with his. Kojiro groaned, dropping his head to Kaoru’s shoulder as Kaoru worked them slowly. “You’re far too fucking good at this.”
“I know,” Kaoru replied, smug. 
Kojiro snorted and kissed him again. “Hold on, stop.” Kaoru did as he was told, and Kojiro spread Kaoru’s legs wide as he kissed down the slope of his body. Kaoru’s cock was leaking, strained against his belly. Kojiro pressed a kiss to the head. His own cock twitching as Kaoru sighed in pleasure. 
He’d be lying if he said he hadn’t thought about sucking Kaoru off again. He never thought the opportunity would arise. Now that it had, he wasted no time swallowing Kaoru to the base. 
Kaoru’s hips raised off the bed. He moaned Kojiro loudly as his hands fell to Kojiro’s hair. Kojiro hummed, his tongue running along the underside of Kaoru’s cock. He pulled off with a pop after a few sucks. With the lube, he poured some over his fingers and began to slowly work open Kaoru. There was some resistance at first, but he made sure to go slow. First, with one finger, and then another, and finally-a third. 
He watched as Kaoru became an utter mess. Writhing and cursing, an arm flown over to cover his face. Kojiro kissed the inside of Kaoru’s thighs, feeling them tremor and shake. He kissed up and up until he was at the base of Kaoru’s cock. As he thrust his fingers forward, working him open, he licked Kaoru from the base to the tip. He suckled on the head, swirling his tongue around and into the slit of Kaoru’s cock. 
“Fucking Kojiro , stop being a tease.” Kaoru pushed at Kojiro’s shoulder. “In me. Put it in me.” 
Kojiro slipped Kaoru out of his mouth as he removed his fingers. He reached for the condom on the bed and ripped open the packet with his mouth before rolling the condom onto his cock. “I should have known even in bed you’d be super demanding.”
“Yeah yeah,” Kaoru rolled his eyes and pulled Kojiro closer. “I should have known even with my dick in my mouth you can’t shut up.”
“It’s part of my charm,” Kojiro grinned as their tongues met, a sloppy intertwining as he lined himself at Kaoru’s entrance. He pulled back so he could guide himself slowly, feeling Kaoru’s walls stretching to his size. He sank until he was inside, fully. Groaning at the heat. Kaoru was so tight . He was so tight. Kojiro had never felt something sweet. Nothing better. 
He held onto Kaoru’s thighs, lifting them up so Kaoru was angled slightly off the bed. “You okay?” he asked, voice tight. 
Kaoru exhaled slowly, nodding. “Go slow. I’ll adjust.”
Kojiro obeyed. He eased himself out slowly and slid back in just the same. Kaoru’s soft gasp at the thrust sent a warm jolt down Kojiro’s spine. Their pace was gentle, as he took the time to work Kaoru open, in and out. Kojiro went in for another kiss. Their lips wet, and tongues sliding against each other.
Kojiro’s fingers curled around Kaoru’s hips, and he snapped forward with a roll that had Kaoru gasping his name into Kojiro’s mouth for him to swallow. 
“Faster, there.” Kaoru commanded. 
“Yes,” Kojiro snapped his hips forward again while he picked up the pace. 
Kojiro threw his head back and moaned. Kojiro dipped forward, sweat coating his brow, to kiss and mark up and leave Kaoru’s neck a red mess. 
“You feel so good,” Kojiro moaned while he fucked Kaoru. “So so good. I’ve thought of this. Of me fucking you. Me kissing you. Like this. You feel better than expected.”
“Shut up. Shut up, Kojiro. You’re so cheesy-Ah!” Kojiro’s next thrust hit the right spot, it seemed. Once found Kojiro angled his hips so he could hit that pressure inside of Kaoru again and again. 
Kaoru couldn’t speak. He could only moan and let loose curses as they continued. Their hips meeting each other for every thrust. Until Kaoru reached down between their bodies. Grasped his dick in his hands, and jerked himself off shakily. 
Kojiro grabbed his hand and placed it above Kaoru’s head. Kaoru growled but Kojiro leaned forward to kiss him. “No. Let me make you cum. I want to.” Kojiro released Kaoru’s hands and leaned forward, pressing his weight on Kaoru, and rolled his hips with deep, quick thrusts. Kaoru grasped onto Kojiro’s back, nails digging into his skin. Every word out of his mouth was of pleasures, moans and gasps and moans and gasps until his breath started hitching. 
He rolled his hips frantically, cock leaking and hard and pressed between their stomachs. With a few more thrusts, Kojiro felt Kaoru’s walls tighten around his cock and felt wetness spurt between their bodies. 
“ Kojiro ,” Kaoru groaned as he came. Kojiro fucked him through his orgasm, holding him tightly as he felt his own come upon him. He groaned Kaoru’s name into his neck, fingers gripping tightly upon Kaoru’s back. His whole body shook with the force of his orgasm.
After a few moments to catch his breath, Kojiro pulled out of Kaoru and rolled over. He took off the condom, tied it, and deposited it by the trash can by his bed. 
He turned back onto the bed. Laying on his side as Kaoru laid spread out, his entire skin a soft pink. His kimono ruffled. His hair all over the place. And beautiful. Utterly beautiful. 
Kaoru looked up at him, as Kojiro looked down, and their lips naturally found their way to one another. They kissed lazily, with no rush to start another round and no rush to kick each other out. 
Kojiro leaned back, pulling Kaoru to lay on top of him. Kaoru frowned but he didn’t make any moves to get away. 
“You’re sweaty.”
“So are you, Kaoru.”
“You’re sweatier.”
“Oh my God can we just bask in the afterglow of some bomb sex, please?” 
“You like me.” Kaoru said instead. 
Kojiro had the audacity to look embarrassed, “You’re … I-yes?”
“Since when?”
“Uh… honestly? Probably since, high school.”
‘Since high school !” 
“Listen! I just recently realized tonight I like you, ok! I’m just saying that I’ve probably always liked you since back then and didn’t know until… now.”
“God, you’re an idiot.” Kaoru huffed and dropped his head onto Kojiro’s chest.
Kojiro chuckled, running his hands through Kaoru’s hair. “That I am. Yo, you gonna tell me you like me too or did you just use me for sex?”
He felt Kaoru’s mouth move against his chest, but whatever he said was too quiet for Kojiro to hear. 
“Huh? What was that? Can you speak up please?”
“I said I like you.” 
“What was that?”
“I SAID I LIKE YOU, YOU IDIOT. YOU BUFFOON. YOU OVERSEXED GORILLA.” 
Kojiro’s laughter rang through his room as he flipped them over and kissed Kaoru all over his face. 
“Since high school too, right?” Kojiro asked, laughing between the kisses. 
“Shut the fuck up.”
“ Knew it. ” Kojiro was grinning ear to ear. He smiled down at Kaoru’s scowling face that soon transformed into a small smile in return. Kaoru wrapped his arms around Kojiro’s neck and pulled him in for a sloppier kiss, all tongue and saliva. 
“Congrats. Now fuck me again.” 
“ Anything for you, Kaoru.”

BEST FRIEND!JAKE GYLLENHAAL HEADCANONS
notes: jake and you are bffs, that’s it, that’s the tweet! warnings: some mentions of sexual content, but it’s pretty clean and safe otherwise! the gifs were in a gif hunt so i don’t know who made them unfortunately! i suggest you listen to tongue tied by grouplove or dog days are over by florence + the machine!  i hope you guys enjoy! <3
Your friendship happened so out of the blue. You were at the grocery store with a friend and you picked some product up, reading the informations about it. You exclaimed “this comes from Canada”, you know, as one does while realizing Canada is a real country and not just a fantasy where everyone lives in igloos and chop wood and like wish Justin Trudeau good night. Your friend shrugged, very bored, but you heard a voice behind you. “Actually, I have some cool theory about Canada. Do you know the Ryans? Gosling and Reynolds? Well...”
“Canada had sex with America and they made the two of them and they’re twins and they tried to eat each other in the womb, but they didn’t, they survived...” You both spoke in sync. You turned around, only to realize that Jake Gyllenhaal was the one radiating even more chaotic energy than you.
It was signed, sealed and delivered.
You two were painful to be around. You would go on some random conspiracy theories of your own creation (you know Strawberry Shortcakes, like the toys and the shows for kids? Well they’re just Bratz dolls except for Bratz dolls, somebody confused the sugar with the salt and they ended up without feet and with some very large heads). You would argue about everything and nothing.
It was a 0 to 100 real quick.
You could be watching a movie at the cinema with a few friends, staying silent the whole time until you got back in the car and you just exploded with thoughts about the movie. You two were screaming so loud the driver of the car had to pull by the side of the road to try and keep you quiet like two angry children.
That’s what you two were: two very annoying children.
In Jake’s and yours opinion, you never argued. You just shared thoughts with a strong passion.
You could call each other names, but you never meant the insults you were saying.
“You can go suck a fuck”, “Tell me Y/N, how exactly does one suck a fuck? I’m all years”
Laughter. You guys laughed all the time together. No, wait, you laughed and Jake just wheezed. You took him to see a doctor once, you managed to convince him he might have a condition because no one ever wheezes THAT MUCH but it turns out you just both suffered from a great sense of humour.
For the first couple of months, your friendship was so filled with arguments and chaos that your mutuals thought you two actually hated each other.
But it could not be more wrong.
Jake and you were inseparable. You’d do everything and nothing together. You’d stop at the convenience store, share the newspaper, have a karaoke night (you were two Britney Spears stans), buy gifts for your respective relatives (you suspected that your own mother preferred your friend Jake to you). You spent the Holidays together. New Years, Valentine’s Day, even Halloween. You would host Halloween parties at your house. There would be only the two of you wearing matching costumes you made with clothes and craft supplies around the house. You both looked horrible, but you ate way too many candies to realize it.
You were attached by the hip. Wherever Jake went, you were there too.
At some point, you lost your job. It happens to the best of us. So Jake suggested you’d become his assistant.
In theory, it was a beautiful idea. You knew Jake���s schedule by heart and did everything together. Being paid for it? Sign me up.
But in practice...
It created some sort of tension between the two of you. It was one more reason to depend on Jake, and for Jake to depend on you. You were two peas in a pod but you had to manage the new pressure.
During red carpets you were hiding behind the interviewer or by his sides, taping your wrist to remind him to go faster and cut the long analytical speeches nobody really cared about. Except for you, you loved how insightful he was and how he rarely showed this side of his personality.
He knew when you were tired to just sit and watch the same people win awards for similar roles they did in other movies before.
Jake would lean in and say “Actually, I think Meryl Streep is a wizard, like the nice type, and she hides magical potions in her purse that can make you fly and don’t even get me started on Julia Roberts...”. You were too far gone, laughing so loud during an emotional speech when a not very talented celebrity won over very talented celebrities that deserved it more or during a movie premiere.
You would hold hands. For funsies.
He’d give you his jacket. He’d feed you a spoon of his food at the restaurant. You’d give him a sip of your hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. You’d share your comfy slippers with him even if his feet were too big and barely fit in.
Life without Jake? You simply did not remember what it was like.
Your mutual friends stopped calling you two enemies. You were straight up a married couple.
You’d go grocery shopping together and Jake would push the caddy around while you guide him through the aisles. “Could make you this dish, I know you like it” he’d suggest. “The oreos are on sale? Must get six packs of them, double stuff only” you’d add.
You’d go on car rides. They lead nowhere: a dead end street, a bridge under construction, a small ghost town. You both just sat there and listened to music.
His hand would mysteriously fall on your thigh and just stay there the whole way back.
And you’d give each other shy looks.
And giggle. And chuckle. And drop your keys by the front door, oopsies you were all of a sudden clumsy.
And when the door was closed behind you, you stared into each other’s eyes and just shrugged before ripping each other’s clothes at the speed of light and fucking on the couch, on the kitchen table or even on the floor. The bed was too far away.
You both had seen each other naked so many times it was not intimidating. You knew he was handsome, he knew you were beautiful. That was all you guys needed to know. But there were new infos to take in consideration: in bed, you two were just powerful. So you slept together again.
Again and again and again...
It did not bother any of you. Your friends did not even find out about it. Everything was fine.
Everything was fine until you went on a date with someone else. Two times, three times... It was starting to get serious.
Jake felt so weird. He hid it from you.
He caressed your hair when you cried as your new fling just broke up with you over text messages. He fed you your favourite ice cream while you two cuddled on the couch, trying to heal the pain with a wholesome Disney movie. He helped you get in the shower when you were too sad or too tired. He supported you.
He cared for you.
He loved you.
And he told you.
That one time he helped you get in the bathtub after you insisted you could go to the gym with him and he literally crushed you not even five minutes in. You were sore and tired and you thought you hallucinated when you heard the words: I love you.
He thought he was having a fever dream when you replied: I love you too.
